Concept
Percentage is the number or ratio that is expressed as a fraction of 100. It is expressed in % sign. It shows a part of large quantity of anything.
Given
Woman buys a pair of shoes for $45 and saves $15 on normal price.
To find
The percentage discount on the shoes.
Explanation
Price paid by woman=$45
Saving by woman=$15 on normal price.
We know that the saving is basically the price that consumers pay subtracted from the total price of the product. So,
Total price of the shoes=price paid by woman +discount on normal price
=45+15
=60
Percentage=saving on normal price/total price*100
=15/60 *100
=25%.
Hence the percentage of discount on the shoes is 25%.
