You save $48.
48/240 = 0.2 = 20%
48/240 = 0.2 = 20%

why did u divide by 240
Ms. Sue
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
