Fred's sporting goods is providing a $5 discount on a bicycle that costs $80. What is the percentage of the discount?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

discount/ normal price

5/80

And we are trying to find out the percentage, so

x/100

Set the 2 equations equal to each other

5/80=x/100

Cross multiply

80x=500

Divide by 80 on both sides

x= 6.25
