Question

This week only, the local coffee shop is reducing the price of a cup of coffee from $3.00 to $2.28. By what percentage is the price reduced?

Answer 1

31.6% decrease

percent of change = difference between original and new values divided by the original value

n = % change

n = 0.72/2.28

n = .3157

n = 31.6%
