Question

A television is reduced in price from £800 to £600, what is the percentage production

Answer 1

The percentage decrease = 25%

Explanation:

Given

• Starting value = £800

• Final value = £600

To determine

• Percentage decrease

Using the percentage decrease formula

% decrease = [Starting Value - Final Value] / [Starting Value] × 100

= [800 - 600] / [800] × 100

= [200] / [800] × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

Therefore, the percentage decrease = 25%
