Answer 2

The discount given was 20%.

Given:

The original price = $82

The sale price = $65.60

To Find:

we need to find the percentage of discount given

Solution:

the absolute value of the discount will be = original price - sale price

= 82 - 65.6

= 16.4

now, the discount percent is calculated as a percentage of the original price. Thus, the discount % is calculated as follows-

discount percent = absolute value of discount ÷ original price × 100

discount % = 16.4/82 × 100

= 0.2 × 100

= 20

Thus, the percentage of discount given was 20%.
