Many questions could be asked with this information; none present, though.

What is the actual question?

I will create a question then. If you sold 27 sets out of the 42 you had, what percentage did you sell?

It would be 27 / 42 x 100 = 64.29% sold.

If the original price is $49.99 and there was 15% off, what is the new price?
15/100 x $49.99 = $7.50

So $49.99 – 7.50 = $42.49 is the new price
