Question

Alexandria is buying herself a new purse. The original price of the purse was $120 but she only paid $80 for it. What percentage of the original price did she pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

discount = original price - selling price

               = $120-$80

               = $40

percentage of discount =  discount / original price  * 100%

                                           = 40/120 * 100

                                           = 33.33 %

percentage of orginal price = 80/120. ×100. =2/3. ×100 = 66.66%
