75%? Who is Jessica?
75% is wrong.
Jessica is the name of a person who's using the same computer as you. You both have the same internet provider number.
To find the percentage of discount, you need to calculate the difference between the regular price and the sale price, and then divide that difference by the regular price. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Regular Price: $25,000
Sale Price: $22,000
Discount Amount = Regular Price - Sale Price
Discount Amount = $25,000 - $22,000
Discount Amount = $3,000
Percentage of Discount = (Discount Amount / Regular Price) * 100
Percentage of Discount = ($3,000 / $25,000) * 100
Percentage of Discount = 0.12 * 100
Percentage of Discount = 12%
Therefore, the percentage of discount on this particular item is 12%.
