Question

The price of a video game was reduced from $60 to $45. By what percentage was the price of the video game reduced?* O 15% O 25% O 75% 40% M​

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

The new price, $45, can be expressed as a percentage of $60 by taking it as a fraction of $60, converting to a decimal value, and multiplying by 100%. $45/$60=3/4=0.75, 0.75x100%=75%. So since 100%-75%=25%, the value was reduced by 25%.
