Vickie pays $90.00 for a new dress at a President's Day sale. If the original price for the dress was $225.00, what is the percent discount?

To find the percentage of the discount first of all we will calculate the price discounted.

for that we will subtract the new price from the original price

225 - 90 = 135

Now to find the percentage discount we will use the following method of dividing the difference in both prices by original price multiply it with 100

135/225 x 100 = 60

This means that the percentage discount was 60% on this dress.
