Question

1.) Last week, the price of grapes at the farmer's market was $1.50 per pound.

This week, the price has decreased by 15%. What is the price of grapes this week?

Answer 1

$1.28

$1.50- 15% = 1.275 ( round up)

Answer 2

1.28
.85 x 1.5 = 1.275
OR
.15 x 1.5 = 0.225 // 1.5 - 0.225 = 1.275 or 1.28
