Question

Danna purchased a

TV for $300. Eight
months later, the same
TV was selling for
$190. What was the
percent of decrease in
the price?

Answer 1

36.66%

Explanation:

We know that the original price of the TV was $300 and that after the price decrease, it was worth $190. From this, we can tell that the TV is worth $110 less than it was originally after 8 months.

So, we can say that the percent decrease is 110/300 or the amount the price dropped divided by the original price.
