Percent decrease

The original price of the pair of earpods is $299.

The discounted price is $219.

The decrease in price was $299 - $219 = $80

We must express the decrease as a percentage of the original price.

We calculate the following formula:


p=(80)/(299)\cdot100

Calculating:

p = 26.76%

The percent decrease in price was 26.76%
