Answer:
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the post-discount price from the pre-discount price
64.99 - 45.49 = 19.50
divide the answer by the original price
[tex]\frac{19.50}{64.99}[/tex] = 0.30
multiply the answer by 100
0.30 x 100 = 30%
to check:
take the original number and multiply it by the decimal form of the percentgae:
64.99 x 30% (0.30) = 19.50
take the answer and subtract it from the orginal answer
64.99 - 19.50 = 45.49
