Short Answer

Expert verified

The discount of the sale price is $20 %$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. State the concept of discount percent.

When the price of an article is reduced and sold it means a discount has been offered. When the price reduced is expressed as a percentage, it is called a discount percentage or the discount rate.

Step 2. Calculate the amount discounted.

Actual price of the inkjet is $$ 179.00$ .

Selling price of the inkjet on the sale is $$ 143.20$ .

$\begin{array}{r} 顿颈蝉肠辞耻苍迟别诲础尘辞耻苍迟=础肠迟耻补濒辫谤颈肠别-厂别濒濒颈苍驳鈥夆赌塸谤颈肠别 \\ 鈥夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌�=179.00-143.20 \\ =$35.80 \end{array}$

The amount discounted is $$ 35.80$ .

Step 3. Calculate the percent discount.

The percent discount is calculated as follows:

$% 鈥夆赌塪颈蝉肠辞耻苍迟 = \frac{顿颈蝉肠辞耻苍迟别诲鈥夆赌碱尘辞耻苍迟}{础肠迟耻补濒鈥夆赌塸谤颈肠别} 脳 100 鈥夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌� 鈥� (1)$

Substitute discounted amount as $35.80$ and actual price as 179 in equation (1) to get the percent discount.

$\begin{matrix} % 鈥夆赌塪颈蝉肠辞耻苍迟= \frac{35.80}{179} 脳 100 \\ = \frac{3580}{179} \\ = 20 \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the discount of the sale price is $20 %$ .
