You save $48.

48/240 = 0.2 = 20%

thanks

You're welcome.

why did u divide by 240

You want to find the percent that the original price is discounted.

If you are the merchant and decide to get rid of these $240 stereo systems, you decide to offer 20% off the original price.

20% of 240 = $48

240 - 48 = 192
