Hello!

First you have to find how far the price went down

You do this by subtracting the whole price by the sale price

18.00 - 14.40 = 3.6

Now you find what percent this is to 18.00

You do this by doing how far the price went down over the whole price

3.6/18 = 0.2

The sale discount was 20%

the answer is 20%

Hope this helps!

we can conclude that the percentage discounted on the item was the 20%.

What percent was the discount?

The original price is $18.00, and the new price is $14.40.

Then the percentage discounted is given by:

p = 100%*($18.00 - $14.40)/($18.00) = 20%.

Thus, we can conclude that the percentage discounted on the item was the 20%.
