A computer is normally $899 but is discounted to $799.

Question: What percent of the original price does Shawn pay?

=> 799 dollars is the discounted price

=> 899 dollars is the original price

=> 899 - 799 = 100 dollars - the discount price that was deducted to the original price.

Solution

=> 100 / 899 = 0.11

=> 0.11 * 100% = 11%

Thus, the computer has a discount of 11%.
