    I like to think of these like this.

    What was the amount of the discount? 300 - 234 = $66 dollars.

    66 is to 300 as? is to 100?

    This is how that question looks in an equation:

    66/300 = x/100 Solve for x by cross multipying.

    66 x 100 = 300 x

    660 = 300 x

    x = 22

    The discount amount on the tablet is 22% off the regular price.

    Check it!

    300 x. 22 = $66 dollars off. 300 - 234 = $66 off.

    Yes! It checks.
