Question

Hotels often have lower prices for seasons when people are less likely to take vacations. The Homestead Inn charges $52.00 a night during the summer, but $40.00 a night during the fall. What is the percent of decrease?

Answer 1

(Original Price - Decreased Price)/Original all times 100
52-40/52 = 0.2307... x 100 = 23.1%

Answer 2

Answer: There is 23.07% of decrease.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Charges at night during the summer = $52.00

Charges at night during a fall = $40.00

Decrease in charges is given by

`\$52.000-\$40.00\\\\=\$12.00`

So, Percentage of decrease is given by

`(12)/(52)* 100\\\\=23.07\%`

Hence, there is 23.07% of decrease.
