The second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 67%.






how do you solve this?

Answer 1

Answer:

The second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 40%.

Answer 2

#Guitar 1

• SP=160
• CP=100

change=160-100=60

Percent :-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{60}{160}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 37.5\%$

#Guitar 2

• SP=250
• CP=150

Change=250-150=100

Percent:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{100}{250}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 40\%$

Option B is correct
