To find the percentage discount, first calculate the amount of discount by subtracting the sale price from the original price: $440 -$ 154 = $286. Then, divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100 to find the percentage: ($ 286 / $440) * 100 ≈ 65%. So, the suit was discounted by approximately 65%.
