Question

The percent decrease of an item that dropped in price from $50 to $43 is​

Answer 1

14%

Explanation:

decreased price = 50 - 43 =$7

`decreased percent=(7)/(50)*100=7*2=14`

Answer 2

14%

Explanation:

The item dropped from $50 to $43 .

Therefore,

Decrease = $50 - $43

= $7

To get the % decrease, divide the decrease by the initial price and multiply the result by 100%

That’s

$7/$50 x 100%

$0.14 x 100%

= 14%

The price of the item decreased by 14%
