Question

Luna and her family are season ticket holders for their favorite baseball team. Last year, the cost of season tickets was $1,030. This year, the cost is $927. What was the percent of decrease in the cost of season tickets?

Answer 1

10%

Explanation:

To find the answer we need to know what percentage of $1030 is $927 and to do this we can multiply 927 by 100 and divide by 1030.

(927(100))/1030

92700/1030

90

so now that we know $927 is 90% of $1030 we can subtract 90 from 100 and it'll give us the percentage decrease. Which is 10%.
