Question

Tracey paid $190 for an item that was orginally priced at $280. What percent of the original price did Tracey pay? Round to the nearest tenth of a percant

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the original price that Tracey paid, divide $190 by $280, then multiply the result by 100, and round to the nearest tenth to get 67.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tracey paid $190 for an item that was originally priced at $280. To calculate the percentage of the original price that Tracey paid, we divide the amount paid by the original price and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Here is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Divide the paid price by the original price: $190 / $280 = 0.6786.
2. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.6786 x 100 = 67.86%.
3. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent: 67.86% ≈ 67.9%.

Therefore, Tracey paid 67.9% of the original price for the item.

Answer 2

GIVEN

Tracey paid $190 for an item that was originally priced at $550.

SOLUTION

• For finding the percentage, first we need to divide the paid amount by the original price and then multiply the result by 100%

190 ÷ 550 = 0.345454

0.34545 x 100 = 34.54545 then round it to the nearest tenth

ANSWER

= 34.5%
