Item 3

A lamp is on sale, and its price is reduced from $80 to $50.

What is the percent of decrease?

Answer 1

37.5 percent

Explanation:

Finding percent is simple. You want to find percent of the price drop so you subtract 50 from 80 and get 30. Once you get 30 you divide by 80 (your original price). Once you do this you will get 0.375. Multiply this by 100 to get your percent.
