How much % is reduced price less than the current price for this product?

Result

x =  37.5 %

Solution:

8p1=5p2 p1<p2 8p(1−x/100)=5p 8(1−x/100)=5 1−x/100=5/8 1−5/8=x/100  x=100⋅(1−5/8) x=37.5%8 p_1 = 5 p_2 \ \\ p_1 < p_2 \ \\ 8 p ( 1- x/100) = 5 p \ \\ 8 ( 1- x/100) = 5 \ \\ 1- x/100 = 5/8 \ \\ 1-5/8 = x/100 \ \\ \ \\ x = 100 \cdot ( 1- 5/8) \ \\ x= 37.5 \%
