The **discount **in the cargo pants is $10.80 that is 30 **percent **of 36.
What is percentage?
A value or **ratio **that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is referred to as a **percentage **in mathematics. If we need to compute a **percentage **of a number, we should divide it by its whole and then multiply it by 100. The **proportion **therefore refers to a **component **per hundred. Per 100 is what the term **percent **signifies. The letter "%" stands for it.
Given, cargo pants that regularly sell for $36 are now on sale for 30 **percent **off.
Thus Discount on cargo = 36 *30% = 36 * 0.3
Discount = 10.80
New price of cargo pants = 36 - 10.80 = 25.20
Therefore, The cargo pants are **discounted **by $10.80, or 30% of 36.
