If the sale percentage is on the left, what number on the right would you divide by to find your savings. For example: (50% off = divide by 2.)

20% off
33% off
25% off
10% off

^^^5,10,4,6,3 ^^^ These are the number's on the right to choose from. Please help me. ?

20% off - divide by 5
33% off - divide by 3
25% off - divide by 4
10% off - divide by 10

Nod's answers are right but I thought you might like a reason.

20% off - divide by 5 because 20/100=1/5 you are actually multiplying by 1/5 which is the same as dividing by 5
33% off - divide by 3 because 33/100 =1/3 approx you are actually multiplying by 1/3 which is the same as dividing by 3
25% off - divide by 4 etc
10% off - divide by 10

These give the discounts, which is what you are asked for but if you needed the new price you would have to subtract the discount off the original price.
