Question

A sweatshirt originally priced at $28.00 is on sale for $22.00. What is the percent of decrease, rounded to the nearest whole number?

A) 18%
B) 21%
C) 24%
D) 27%

Answer 1

percent decrease is (older - newer)/older * 100
Lets try it....
(28.00 - 22.00)/28.00 * 100
6.00/28.00 * 100
.21 * 100 = your answer
You can figure it out from here :)
