Question

A pair of sneakers was reduced from $127 to $85. What was the percent of change?

Answer 1

Answer: it was reduced by 33%

Explanation:

127x0.67 is 85.09 which is about 33%

Answer 2

Find the difference:

$127 - $85 = $42

Divide the difference by the original price:

42 / 127 = 0.3307

Rounded to 2 decimal places = 0.33

Multiply by 100:

0.33 * 100 = 33% decrease
