Question

You have your eye on a new bike that is marked at $600. You wait, and the store

drops the price of the bike by 25%. What is the new cost of the bike?​

Answer 1

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage decrease is found by dividing the decrease by the starting number, then multiplying that result by 100%. Note: the percent decrease measures FROM the first value. A decrease from 50 of 25 is a change of 50% (25 is the difference between the two numbers, and 25 is 50% of 50)
