In A Clothing Store,a Sweater That Was Originally Priced At $73 Was Marked Down And Sold For $54.75 What Was The Percent Amount Of The Makdown?

Percentage discount = (original price - new price)/ original price x100
original price = 74
new price = 54.75

Putting the value in the formula you will get
= (74 - 54.75)/74 x100
= 0.2601 x100
Percentage discount = 26.01%
