To find the percentage, we divide the sale price by the original price, and then multiply it by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage.
61.75 / 95 = 0.65
0.65 x 100 = 65%
This tells us that $61.75 is 65% of $95
To find the percentage decrease, we subtract this answer from 100%.
Answer: 100 - 65 = 35%
So the discount was 35%
