Percentage Discount $= 65 %$ $=65%$

Explanation:

Percentage Discount $= \frac{Original Price - Sale Price}{Original Price} \times 100$ $={\text{Original Price}-\text{Sale Price} }/\text{Original Price}\times100$

By putting the given values, we have:

Percentage Discount $= \frac{440 - 154}{440} \times 100$ $={440-154}/440\times100$

$= 65 %$ $=65%$
