A shopper at a clearance store is pleased to discover some microscopes on sale for $24 dollars each. The original price tags read $40. What percent is the discount?

Answer :

It has a 40% discount.

40 - 24 = 16

16 ÷ 40 = 0.4

0.4 = 40%

Please let me know if I am wrong.

(That microscope is probably garbage.)
