Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of discount is 31.0 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price = $ 24,365

Selling price = $ 16,820

Thus,

$\text{The percentage of discount}=\frac{\text{Original-Selling price}}{\text{Original price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{24365-16820}{24365}\times 100$

$==\frac{7545}{24365}\times 100$

$=\frac{754500}{24365}$

$=30.9665503796\%$

$\approx 31.0\%$
