Q. Jose went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The price on the tag was $35 \$ 35 , but Jose paid $33.25 \$ 33.25 before tax. Find the percent discount.\newlineAnswer: _____% \%
  1. Identify Prices: Identify the original price and the sale price to determine the amount of discount.\newlineOriginal price: $35\$35\newlineSale price: $33.25\$33.25\newlineDiscount amount = Original price - Sale price\newlineDiscount amount = $35\$35 - $33.25\$33.25\newlineDiscount amount = $1.75\$1.75
  2. Calculate Discount: Calculate the percent discount using the discount amount and the original price.\newlinePercent discount = (Discount amount/Original price)×100(\text{Discount amount} / \text{Original price}) \times 100\newlinePercent discount = ($1.75/$35)×100(\$1.75 / \$35) \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 0.05×1000.05 \times 100\newlinePercent discount = 5%5\%
