Well you can just start off by doing 48/12 which is 4. So he got 1/4 off the box of chocolates, and 1/4 in percentile form is 25%.
He got a discount of 25%
He got a discount of 25%
One way to calculate this is finding what the percentage of 36 is out of 48.
36/48= 0.75
You then have to subtract this number from 1 (since you're asking for a markdown, not up) and get 0.25.
0.25 x 100 = 25%
The discount is therefore 25%
Alternatively, you could subtract 36 from 48 to get 12, the amount it was marked down by. Then find the percentage of 12 out of 48.
12/48 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25%
Hope this helps :)
