Suppose that a car normally sells for $16,500 and is now on sale for $14,000. What is the percent of discount? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

16,500 - 14,000 = 2,500

100 (2,500 / 15,500) = ______%

yes

To calculate the percent of discount, you need to find the difference between the original price and the sale price, and then divide that difference by the original price. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

First, subtract the sale price from the original price:
$16,500 - $14,000 = $2,500

Next, divide the difference by the original price:
$2,500 / $16,500 = 0.1515

Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
0.1515 * 100 = 15.15%

Therefore, the percent of discount is approximately 15.1%.
