250 - (x/100)250 = 235 250 - 2.5x = 235 250 - 250 - 2.5x = 235 - 250 -2.5x = -15 (-1/2.5)(-2.5)x = -15(-1/2.5) x = 6 So that 250 decreased by 6% is 235. Or, 250 - 235 = 15 15 is what percent of 250? 15 = (x/100)250 15 = 2.5x 6 = x

Convert the discount into a decimal equivalent by removing the percent sign and placing the decimal 2 places to the left of the number in front of the percent sign. (25% = .25; 5% = .05, etc.). Then multiply the number that you want to find the discount for by the decimal equivalent. Example: to find how much 250 with a 15% discount is, multiply 250 x .15 (250 x .15 = 37.50).
37.5 I got this by solving for x in the proportion 15/100=x/250
