Question

Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "4 for $1". Find each percent change

Answer 1

The price per cheese stick was increased by 150%.

The amount of cheese sticks per $1.00 has decreased by 60%.

Explanation:

The price per cheese stick was $0.10

• 1.00 (dollar) divided into 10 (cheese sticks) gives you 0.1, which means each cheese stick costs $0.10

The current price per cheese stick is $0.25

• 1.00 (dollar) divided into 4 (cheese sticks) gives you 0.25, which means each cheese stick costs $0.25

That means the price per cheese stick was raised by 150%.

That also means the amount of cheese sticks you could buy for $1.00 has decreased by 60%.
