Before a sale, an item’s price was $18.00, but this was discounted during the sale to a new price of $14.40. what was the percent of the sale discount?

Hello!

First you have to find how far the price went down

You do this by subtracting the whole price by the sale price

18.00 - 14.40 = 3.6

Now you find what percent this is to 18.00

You do this by doing how far the price went down over the whole price

3.6/18 = 0.2

The sale discount was 20%

the answer is 20%

Hope this helps!
