Question

nolan bought a flute marked down from $750 to $330. what is the discount, as a percentage? write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Find the discount amount

Subtract the sale price from the original price. So, \( 750 - 330 = 420 \).

Step2: Calculate the discount percentage

Divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100. That is, \( \frac{420}{750} \times 100 \). First, \( \frac{420}{750}=0.56 \), then \( 0.56\times100 = 56\% \).

Answer:

56%
