Often, during a sale season, retailers will sell their merchandise for a discount and usually noted as a percentage discount, $x\%$.

Question

The marked price is the price before the stated discount. The sale price is the amount paid after that discount. The discount is the amount saved.

$\text{Sale price}=\text{marked price}\times(1-x/100)$.

${\mathrm{Discount} = \mathrm{Marked \ Price} - \mathrm{Sale \ Price}}$

${\mathrm{Percentage \ Discount} = \frac{\mathrm{Discount}}{\mathrm{Marked \ Price}} \times 100\%}$

Accepted Answer

$\text{sale price}=\text{marked price}\times(100-x)\%$, and $\text{discount}=\text{marked price}-\text{sale price}$. For the illustrated bicycle, the discount is $\$69.50$ and the sale price is $\$208.50$.
