You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = percentage of original price paid


155 is x percent of 450


155 = (x/100)*450


155*100 = x*450


15500 = x*450


15500/450 = x


34.444444444444 = x (this is approximate)


x = 34.444444444444


x = 34.44 (round to 2 decimal places)


So the answer is approximately 34.44%
