Sagot :

To determine a percentage difference, simply divide the difference of the two numbers by the original. For instance, 82-65.60=16.4 16.4 is 20% of 82, so the discount is 20% (16.4/82)

Given↷

% of discount = (82-65.60)/82 x 100

% of discount = 16.4/82 x 100

% of discount = 0.2 x 100

% of discount = 20

hence , the discount percentage is 20
