Question

Solve the problem.

A dress regularly sells for $135. The sale price is $93. Find the percent decrease of the sale price from the regular
price.
31.1%
221.4%
45.2%
68.9%

Answer 1

32% Decrease

Explanation:

93 = x * 135 (divide both sides by 135 to get X alone.)

x=0.68 - Repeated (This tells us that it was paid 68% of the OG price.)

1 - 0.68 = 0.32 (We need to subtract the percent paid from the OG price to find the percent discount.)

The percent decrease was 32% off.
