Savings of Dollars in percent

Question

A television original price was $1499.99 but placed on sale for $1097.99 What percent is the discounted sales price from its original price.

Answer 1

To find the percent up or down, find the difference between the two amounts first.

So in this case you would need to take 1499.99 and subtract 1097.99.

Let's give this answer a name... How about Skrilla.

So now you would take Skrilla and divide it by the original sale price.

Skrilla/1499.99 = The percentage you would save!

:-) I hope that helps!
