A piece of luggage sells for $225.00. It is on sale this week for $195.00. What is the percent decrease, to the nearest whole percent?
From $225 to $195 it decreased 13.33 percent.
-13.33 %
Hope this helped ;P
To the nearest whole percent would be -13%
Thanks, EW....here's a way of obtaining his answer
% decrease = [ original price - sales price ] / original price X 100% =
[225 - 195 ] 225 x 100%
[ 30 ] / 225 x 100%
[ 30 * 100 / 225] % =
3000/225 % ≈ 13.33% = 13% decrease
+219
