Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question, first we have to calculate the discount amount:

Original price - sale price

500-475 =25

Now, the original price (500) multiplied by the percent discount in decimal form (x) must be equal to the discount amount (25)

500x =25

Solving for x

x =25/500 =0.05

Multiply it by 100 to express in percentage form.

0.05 x 100 = 5%

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
