Q. Jack went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The price on the tag was $20 \$ 20 , but Jack paid $15 \$ 15 before tax. Find the percent discount.\newlineAnswer: _____% \%
  1. Identify Price: Identify the original price and the sale price of the sneakers.\newlineOriginal price: $20\$20\newlineSale price: $15\$15
  2. Calculate Discount: Calculate the amount of discount by subtracting the sale price from the original price.\newlineDiscount Amount = Original price - Sale price\newline= $20\$20 - $15\$15\newline= $5\$5
  3. Calculate Percent Discount: Calculate the percent discount by dividing the discount amount by the original price and then multiplying by 100100 to get the percentage.\newlinePercent discount = (Discount Amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount Amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100\newline= ($5/$20)×100(\$5 / \$20) \times 100\newline= 00.2525 \times 100100\newline= 2525\%
