Respuesta :

Answer:

Around 30% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find HOW MUCH DECREASE is the price. So we subtract:

22. 5 - 15.07 = $7.43

How much will that be in percentage?

7.43 is off of 22.5, to find the discount peccentage, we divide 7.43 with 22.5 and then multiply by 100 to get percentage discount. So, we have:

[tex]\frac{7.43}{22.5}=0.3302[/tex]

Now, we have:

0.3302 * 100 = 33.02%

Approximately 33.02%
