Jasmine buys the magic carpet on sale for $374. She saved $66 off the regular price. What percent was the price discounted?

Answer:15%Step-by-step explanation:Let c represent the regular price of the carpet. Then:  sale price = regular price less discount     $374    =           c     -     $66Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:$374 + $66 = c  =   $440.  This is the regular price.  $66---------- = 0.15                      This is the fraction of the regular price by $440                                   which the regular price is reduced.Then the percentage of this discount was   0.15(100%) = 15%
