if the sign were 90% off, yes, but since there are 2 signs, then must do it one by one. thank you for the video.

What do you think in this question :
Jasmine buys the magic carpet on sale for $374. Jasmine saved $66 off the regular price.
What percent was the price of the magic carpet discounted?

What if the whole number just says off but not used with a percent symbol
