The original price of a scarf was $16, a shopper saved $12 on the scarf. What percentage discount did she receive

Respuesta :

The discount was 75% off

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The original price of scarf=$16

Shopper saved on the scarf=$12

We have to find the percentage discount on the scarf she received.

Discount=$12

To find the discount percentage we will use the formula  given below :

Discount percentage=[tex]\frac{discount}{original\;price}\times 100[/tex]

Substitute the values in the given formula

Then, we get

Discount percentage=[tex]\frac{12}{16}\times 100=75[/tex] %

Hence, she received discount percentage on the scarf=75%
