Question

Tracey paid $180 for an item that was originally priced at $560. What percent of the original price did Tracey pay?

Answer 1

To find the percentage that Tracey paid, we can use the rule of three:

Now, the original price $560 represent the 100%.

If $560 ----------- 100%

then $180----------- x

where x =($180*100)/$560

x = 32.14

Therefore, the percent that Tracey paid was 32.14%

The answer is rounded to the nearest hundredth.
