Question

Jose purchased a new pair of jeans from the clearance rack for $41.25. The original price marked was $75. What was the total discount that Jose received in the jeans?

Answer 1

41.25/75 = 0.55 = decimal fraction of original price

0.55 * 100 = 55 % = percent of original price

100 - 55 = 45% = percent discount off original price

Answer 2

Thanks so much
