A second quote for 40 snow plows (including the 5.5% Ohio sales tax) is $105,254.40, which includes a discount. The original price per snow plow is $2,630 (excluding sales tax). 

By what percent have the snow plows been discounted?

The discount is given by ;

 ( first quote - second quote )  / first quote  =

(105254.40 - (40 * 2630) / (105254.40)  = about 0.0005168430013377  = about .0517%

 

{That's not much of a "discount" is it  ??? }  ....sounds like a "snow job"   .....LOL!!!!
