Question

The price of a notebook was 3.70 yesterday. Today, the price fell to 3.20. Find the percentage decrease. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

The price was dropped around 15%

Explanation:

You will pay $3.15 for a item with original price of $3.70 when discounted 15%. In this example, if you buy an item at $3.70 with 15% discount, you will pay 3.70 - 0.555 = 3.15 dollars.
