Answer: 12.0 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Since according to the question,
The initial price of the chair ( Marked price) = 36.50
And, After the discount the price of the chair = 32.12
Thus, the discount on the price = 36.50 - 32.12 = 4.38
Therefore the discount percentage = [tex]\frac{discount}{marked price} \times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.38}{36.50} \times 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{438}{36.50}[/tex]
= 12 %
Thus, the percentage of discount = 12.0 %
