Question

A store normally sells certain dress for $160 during a special sale, the store reduces the price of the dress to $120 by what percent is the price of the dress reduced for the sale?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

Step one:

A store normally sells certain dress for $160 during a special sale

the store reduces the price of the dress to $120

Step two:

Percent reduction= change in price/initial price *100

Percent reduction= 160-120/160 *100

Percent reduction= 40/160*100

Percent reduction==0.25*100

Percent reduction=25%
