Answer:
The discount was [tex]47\frac{6}{7}[/tex]%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out the discount will have to do the following.
First find out what part of the origin price was taken of, so we create a fraction with the denominator being the original price and the numerator being the difference between the original price and the discount price. So we do.....
[tex]\frac{28.00-14.60}{28.00} = \frac{2800 - 1460}{2800} = \frac{1340}{2800} = \frac{67}{140}[/tex]
Now we have to find a fraction with the same value but with the denominator being a 100, so we do.....
[tex]\frac{67 / 1.4}{140/1.4}= \frac{47\frac{6}{7} }{100}[/tex]
From this we know that the the discount in percentages will be equal to [tex]47\frac{6}{7}[/tex]%
