An amount of discount is a percent off the original price.
In this Grade 7 lesson from Big Ideas Math, Course 2, Chapter 6, students learn how to calculate discounts and markups using percent of a number to find sale prices, original prices, and selling prices.

Real-world contexts like retail pricing help students connect the concepts of discount and markup to everyday consumer math.
