Question

What is the percent of discount on a television that originally sold for $700 and is now on sale for $560?
Ms. Sue
(700 - 560) / 700 = ?

Change the decimal answer to a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right.
Please help! I am confused on what to do next. I subtracted the 700 by 560 and got 140 so then I divided by 700 and got 5?
Ms. Sue
140 divided by 700 = 0.2

0.2 = 20%
Thank you so much! :D have a nice night
Ms. Sue
You're welcome. :-)
