i purchased a chess set for $240 that was originally $320. what was the discount given and what is this as a percentage of the advertised price?

Question

I don't know how to work this out and it's part of my home work thats due on monday.

Answer 1

The amount of money taken off was:

320 - 240 = 80

 

So your question is what percent of

$320 is $80

 

80 = (x/100)(320)

 

x= 80(100)/320 = 25%
