Solution

To calculate the percentage discount, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Find the difference in price: 28.95(originalprice)28.95 (original price) - 23.95 (sale price) = $5.00

  2. Divide the difference by the original price: 5.00/5.00 / 28.95 = 0.1727

  3. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.1727 * 100 = 17.27%
