Answer:

The cookies are discounted by 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Promotional price of cookies = $9.50

Normal price = $1.25 per cookies

Cost of dozen = 1.25*12 = $15

Discount amount = 15 - 9.50 = $5.50

Percent discount = [tex]\frac{Discount\ amount}{Normal\ cost}*100[/tex]

Percent discount = [tex]\frac{5.5}{15}*100 = 0.366*100[/tex]

Percent discount = 36.6%

Rounding off to nearest whole percent

Percent discount = 37%

Hence,

The cookies are discounted by 37%.
