Question

A grocery store reduced the price of a jar of pickles from 4.75 to 4.60 find the percent decrease round to nearest one decimal

Answer 1

The decrease is the difference between the two prices:

`decrease=4.75-4.60=0.15`

And we have:

% decrease = decrease/initial price x 100

So:

`=(0.15)/(4.75)*100=0.0315*100=3.15`

Round to nearest one decimal: 3.2

Answer: 3.2%
