The price of a calculator has decreased from $200 to $150. What is the percentage of decrease?
Responses
To find the percentage of decrease, we need to find the difference between the original price and the new price, divide it by the original price, and then multiply by 100.
- The difference between the original price and the new price is: $200 - $150 = $50
- Divide the difference by the original price: $50 ÷ $200 = 0.25
- Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.25 x 100% = 25%
Therefore, the percentage of decrease is 25%.
