Q. Leah bought a lamp for $41\$41 that was originally priced at $50\$50. What percentage is the discount?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%).\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Calculate Price Difference: Calculate the difference in price between the original price and the price Leah paid.\newlineOriginal price: $50\$50\newlinePrice paid by Leah: $41\$41\newlineDifference in price = Original price - Price paid by Leah\newline= $50\$50 - $41\$41 = $9\$9
  2. Calculate Discount Percentage: Calculate the discount percentage based on the original price.\newlineDiscount percentage = (Difference in priceOriginal price)×100(\frac{\text{Difference in price}}{\text{Original price}}) \times 100\newline= (950)×100(\frac{9}{50}) \times 100\newline= 0.18×1000.18 \times 100\newline= 18%18\%
