Question

A $30 pair of jeans is on sale for $15. What is the percent of change for the pair of
jeans?

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

All we need to do is find out what percent 15 is compared to 30. So think of 30 as "100%" in this case. We know it's on sale and selling for $15 so all we need to do is figure out what $15 is compared to $30.

30 ÷ 15 = 15.

Luckily in this case 15 is half of 30. So half of "100" would be 50. 50%.

50% is your answer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!
