Question

All Food City oranges are normally $3 per pound, but this week they are on sale for $2 per
pound. What is the percent decrease in price?

Answer 1

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The oranges have decreased by one dollar per pound so you have to find the percentage of 3 that is 1. To do this is 1 over 3 multiplied by 100%

= $\frac{1}{3}$ * 100%

And this will give you 33.33%
