The sale price of a spring break vacation package was $179.99 and he travel agent said by booking early you saved $20. What is the percent reduction in price?

179.99/20

$179.99+$20=$199.99

$20/$199.99=0.1000

=10%

This is the the actual way to do this problem :)

Well, that's quite a special discount. But I think you might have mixed up the numbers there. To find the percentage reduction, we need to calculate the difference between the original price and the sale price, and then determine what percentage that difference represents. So, let's do the math properly.

Original price - Sale price = Difference
179.99 - 20 = 159.99

Now, to find the percentage reduction, we divide the difference by the original price and then multiply by 100:

(159.99 / 179.99) * 100 ≈ 88.88%

So, the percent reduction in price is approximately 88.88%. It seems like you made quite a clown-worthy saving!

To find the percent reduction in price, we need to calculate the amount of the reduction as a percentage of the original price. In this case, the reduction was $20.

First, we divide the reduction by the original price:

$20 / $179.99 = 0.111

Next, we multiply this result by 100 to express it as a percentage:

0.111 * 100 = 11.1

Therefore, the percent reduction in price is approximately 11.1%.

159.99/179.99=0.89/100=89%

Sorry.

20/179.99 = 0.1111 = 11%

Your answer doesn't work.

159.99 / 179.99 = _____

Multiply the answer by one hundred to get the percentage.
