Solution

To calculate the percentage discount, follow these steps:

  1. First, find the amount of the discount by subtracting the sale price from the original price. So, 28.9528.95 - 23.95 = $5.00.

  2. Next, divide the discount by the original price. So, 5.00/5.00 / 28.95 = 0.1727.

  3. Finally, multiply this number by 100 to find the percentage discount. So, 0.1727 * 100 = 17.27%.

Rounded to 1 decimal place, the percentage discount is 17.3%.
