Find the cost of the following situation. Dress Sale: Regular:$160 Now:$112 What % is given on the price of the dress?
160(1-givenoff)=112
solve for giveoff, convert that decimal to percent.
30%
To find the percentage discount on the price of the dress, you need to calculate the difference between the regular price and the sale price, and then divide that difference by the regular price. Here's how you do it:
1. Calculate the difference between the regular price and the sale price:
Regular price - Sale price = $160 - $112 = $48
2. Divide the difference by the regular price:
(Difference / Regular price) x 100 = (48 / 160) x 100 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%
Therefore, a 30% discount is given on the price of the dress.
