Question

At the grocery store last week, SuperSugarSweet candy bars were priced at 4 bars for 5$. This week, they are on sale at 5 bars for 4$. What is the percent change in the price per candy bar this week as compared to last week?

Answer 1

The percent change would be 36%

What is percent change?

Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value.

Given:

4 candy bars = 5$

1 candy bar = 5/4

1 candy bar = 1.25$

Now,

5 candy bars = 4$

1 candy bar =4/5

1 candy bar = 0.8$

% change = (0.8-1.25) / 1.25 *100

                  = 36%
