You purchase a birthday gift for $105.00. You recall the tag above the gifts to read $175.00 as a retail price. You are pleasantly surprised at the discount that you had not seen. What was the percentage of discount offered on your gift? i assume the answer will be 70%?

We then swap this around for the lower number that equals to 100.

100-60= 40

40%

I hope this is helpful.

Answer:

If the retail price was $175.00, and you purchased this item for $105.00, then the discount was 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{105}{175} = \frac{21}{35}= \frac{3}{5} = 0,6[/tex] - that means you paid 60% out of the total price

the discount however is not the percentage that you paid, but the X% OFF, so in that case:

[tex]100 - 60 = 40[/tex]

The discount on this item was 40%
