Question

If i estimated that i would spend $300 at a restaurant but spent 289.24, then i paid what percent less

Answer 1

-4% decrease

Explanation:

To find a percent decrease, subtract the new price from the total. Divide the result by the original price. Lastly, multiply the decimal by 100.

289.24 - 300 = -10.76

-10.76 / 300 = -0.04

-0.04(100) = -4%
