Answer:
A 9.47% discount was given
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking us to find how much percent of 475 is 45. Therefore we do the following:
[tex] \frac{45}{475} \times \frac{100}{1} = \frac{4500}{475} [/tex]
after dividing we get 9.473 which is approximately 9.47%
To check if what we got is correct we do the opposite and instead find 9.47% of 475.
[tex] \frac{475}{1} \times \frac{9.47}{100} = \frac{4498.25}{100} [/tex]
After dividing we find that is equal to 44.98 which is approximately 45.
