The regular price of a keyboard price is $845 and the sale price is $695. What is the percent of discount to the nearest whole percent?

Answer 1

18%

The question is asking for the percent discount. The discount is what isn't counted in the full price, hence 845-695 which equals $150. Now the discounted percent would be the discount over the original price, which will be 0.1775. To convert that to a percent, you multiply that by 100, giving you 17.75%. It asks for the percentage in a whole number, so rounding up would give you 18%.
