Question

A pair of D.C. Shoes form Zumiez costs $50, while the same pair from journeyz costs $60. If you used your coupon for zumiez you would spend 42.50 meanwhile if you used your coupon for journeyz you would spend $39 You obviously will go to Journeyz, but what is the percent decrease for each store? Explain plz thnx

Answer 1

Zumiez = 15% and journeys = 35% you subtract the discount from the original and then divide it by the original

Answer 2

((original amount - new amount) / (original amount)) * 100 = percentage decrease

((50 - 42.50) / 50) * 100 = 15%.

((60 - 39) / 60) * 100 = 35%. 

The percentage decrease for Zumiez is 15%, and the percentage decrease for Journeyz is 35%.
