Given:
Retail price = $1227.3
Sale price = $286.13
Let's find the percentage off.
The percentage off is also called the percentage discount.
To find the percentage off, apply the formula:
[tex]\text{Percentage off = }\frac{original\text{ price - sale price}}{old\text{ price}}\ast\frac{100}{1}[/tex]Where:
Saleprice = $286.13
Original price can be said to be the retail price = $1227.3
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage off = }\frac{1227.23-286.13}{1227.3}\ast\frac{100}{1} \\ \\ \text{Percentage off = }\frac{941.1}{1227.3}\ast100 \\ \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving further:
[tex]\text{Percentage off=}0.767\ast100=76.7\text{ \%}[/tex]Therefore, the percentage off is 76.7%.
ANSWER:
76.7%
