Question

At a sale, dresses were sold for $140 each. If the dresses originally cost $200 each,

what percentage of its original price was a dress sold for?

Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

140 is 70% of 200 which means that the dresses were on sale by 30%

140/200 =

140 ÷ 200 =

0.7 =

0.7 × 100/100 =

0.7 × 100% =

(0.7 × 100)% =

70%;

Then subtract from 100% to get 30%
