A blender was originally sold for $90 and has been marked down to $79.20. What is the percentage of discount for the

blender?

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount = $ 90

Discounted amount = $ 79.20

Percentage of discount =?

Let the percentage of discount be y %

Thus, we can obtain the value of y as follow:

y /100 × 90 = 79.20

90y /100 = 79.20

Cross multiply

90y = 100 × 79.20

90y = 7920

Divide both side by 90

y = 7920/90

y = 88

Thus, the percentage discount of the blender is 88%
