The percent that the coat was discounted - 30%
Given:
Original price - $50
sale price - $35
Discount percent - let assume it x%
Solution:
As we know
- the original price is 50 and discount percent is applies to original price then
=> x% = [tex]\frac {x}{100} \times 50[/tex]
We also know
- discount = original price - sale price
=> original price - sale price = [tex]50 \times \frac {x}{100}[/tex]
=> 50 - 35 = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
=> 15 × 2 = x%
=> 30% = x
Thus, the percent that the coat was discounted - 30%
