Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price = $600

Current sale price = $480

To find the percentage decrease in this case, use percentage change formula;

Percentage change = \frac{Current price - Regular price}{Regular price}*100

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula ;

Percentage change = \frac{(480 -600)}{600}*100 \\ \\ =\frac{-120}{600} *100\\ \\ =-0.2*100\\ \\ =-20%

Therefore, the percentage decrease is -20%

Please help!! markup and markdown word problems.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1) $343

2) $40

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Kathy paid (100 - 30)% of 490

so we can multiply 490 by 70%

490 x .7 = 343

2)  let 'x' = original price

if she's saving 10% (or .10) then she's paying 90% (or .90)

.9x = 36

x = 36/.9

x = 40

Divide each set to see if the answers are identical:

A: 3/2 = 1.5

  6/3 = 3

Answers are not the same so this is not proportional.

B: 20/4 = 5

24 /6 = 4

Answers are not the same so this is not proportional.

C: 27/9 = 3

81/27 = 3

Answers are the same so this is  proportional.

D: 8/2 = 4

16/8 = 2

Answers are not the same so this is not proportional.

The answer is C.
