Question

The price of a pair of jeans was reduced from $35 to $28. By what percentage was the price of the jeans reduced?

Answer 1

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

discount = 35 - 28

= 7

discount/original price * 100

7/35 * 100

= 20%

Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

Percentage Reduction:

((Original Price - Reduced Price) / Original Price) * 100

For the given scenario:

Percentage Reduction = ((35 - 28) / 35) * 100

Percentage Reduction = (7 / 35) * 100

Percentage Reduction = 0.2 * 100

Percentage Reduction = 20%
