Questions: A laptop is discounted on Black Friday from 799.00 799.00​​ to 349.00 349.00​​. Find the percent of discount. Round to two decimal places.

Solution Steps

The original price of the laptop is \( \$799.00 \), and the discounted price is \( \$349.00 \).

Subtract the discounted price from the original price to find the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount Amount} = \$799.00 - \$349.00 = \$450.00 \]

Divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100 to find the percent of discount: \[ \text{Percent of Discount} = \left( \frac{\$450.00}{\$799.00} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculate the value and round it to two decimal places: \[ \text{Percent of Discount} \approx 56.32\% \]
