Given:
The cost of the painting = $225
The sales price of the painting = $191.25
To find:
the percent discount
To determine the percent discount, we will apply the formula:
[tex]\text{ \% discount = }\frac{original\text{ price - sales price}}{original\text{ price}}\times100[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \% discount = }\frac{225\text{ - 191.25}}{225}\times100 \\ \\ \text{ \% discount = }\frac{33.75}{225}\times100 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \% discount = 0.15 }\times\text{ 100} \\ \\ Percent\text{ discount = 15\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
