Given: P13,599.15
P15,999.00
Asked: What is the rate of discount?
PLAN:
(Original price)15,999.00 - (Saleprice)13,599.00
=15,999.00 - 13,599.00 = N
N ÷ P15,999.00 = N
N × 100 = N
SOLVE:
P15,999.00 - P13,599.00 = 2,399.85
P2,399.85 ÷ P15,999.00 = 0.15
0.15 × 100 = 15
CHECK:
P15,999.00 × 0.15 = P13,599.00
