Question

The price of a coat was reduced from $40 to $30. By what percentage was the price of the coat reduced?

Answer 1

25% that is what I got

Answer 2

The percentage that the coat was reduced is 25%.

Explanation:

A percentage is always out of a factor of 100.

40 x 2.5 = 100

30 x 2.5 = 75

75/100 = 3/4

1/4 is missing, which is the percentage.

1/4 = 0.25, or 25%
