Kayleigh’s and Rachael each buy clothes in a sale. Kayleigh’s clothes normally cost 50 but had 5 off. Rachael’s clothes normally cost 20 but had 3 off. Whose clothes had the bigger percentage discount?

Answer 1

To find out whose clothes had the bigger percentage discount, we need to calculate the percentage discount for each of them.

For Kayleigh:
Discounted price = 50 - 5 = 45
Percentage discount = (5/50) * 100% = 10%

For Rachael:
Discounted price = 20 - 3 = 17
Percentage discount = (3/20) * 100% = 15%

Therefore, Rachael's clothes had the bigger percentage discount with a discount of 15% compared to Kayleigh's discount of 10%.
