Question

The price of a car has been reduced from $23,500 to $17,155. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the car?

Answer 1

I think I would be 30% maybe... I could be wrong

Answer 2

27%

Explanation:

First get the decrease

Decrease = $23500 - $17155

= $6345

Percentage decrease = decrease/initial price x 100%

That’s

$6345/$23500 x 100%

0.27 x 100%

27%

The percentage decrease in the price of the car is 27%
