Question

A shirt originally cost $50.97, but it is on sale for $48.42. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt? If necessary, round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Hello!

The Percentage Decrease Formula:

[(New Value - Old Value)/Old Value] × 100

Use That To Solve:

[(48.42 - 50.97)/50.97] × 100 = -5.00

PERCENTAGE DECREASE: 5%
