Question

A dress which costs $59.95 has a decrease in price of 21%. Estimate the new price for this dress?

Answer 1

46 Dollars

Explanation:

New value =

59.95 - Percentage decrease =

59.95 - (21% × 59.95) =

59.95 - 21% × 59.95 =

(1 - 21%) × 59.95 =

(100% - 21%) × 59.95 =

79% × 59.95 =

79 ÷ 100 × 59.95 =

79 × 59.95 ÷ 100 =

4,736.05 ÷ 100 =

47.3605 ≈

47.36
