The price of a Ipod dropped from $299.99 to $180.55. What was the percent decrease in price
math is my worst subject
Ok : so given that : initial price : $299.99 final price : $180.55 . Right ?
yes
lol...
So let us first find the decrease : can u find that ?
decrease : initial price - final price
39.18 % decrease.
119.44
Ok right carol :
thx for the awnser but how doid u find it
Sorry, I didn't realize mathslover was helping you already.
and i have tor oudn the answer to the nearest hundreth
Remember : percent decrease = =New amount-original amount/original amount X 100
i have to round it to the nearest hundreth?
So we have % decrease = decrease / initial price * 100
it is traditional in mathematics word problems to add "Suppose" at the beginning of the word problem for completely improbable situations
so % decrease = 119.44 / 299.99 * 100 % wht r u getting now ?
oh ok now i get it. i am taking math online so im so lost on some of these questions
Ok no problem we r here to help u \[\huge{\mathbb{Welcome}\textbf{To}\mathbb{Open}\textbf{Study}}\]
Rounded to nearest hundredth percent makes it 39? or 39.80?
39.80
thast what i thought thx
