Question

A sofa regularly rells for $800. The sale price is $600

Answer 1

Because the sofa usually sells for $800, we know that's 100% of the price.

100% = $800

Let's find 1%.

1% = $800/100

1% = $8

Next, multiply $8 by 75 to find the percent of the sofas price when it's $600.

75% = $600

We now know that $600 is 75% of the sofas original price.

100% - 75% = 25%

The percent of decrease I'm the sofas sale price is 25%.

Hope I got that right, the question was worded a little strangley so I wasn't quite sure what you were asking :)
