The original price of a pair of jeans was $46.50. The jeans were on sale for $37.20. What was the discount rate?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since jeans were on sale for $37.20, down from $46.50, then the discount was $9.30 (46.50 - 37.20)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Discount rate = \"9.3%2F46.5\", or \"highlight_green%2820%29\"%\r
