Question

An item selling for $1102 is reduced to $806. To the nearest whole, what is the percent decrease?

Answer 1

The answer is 296. Hope this helps:)

Answer 2

The 26% decrease would be $1102-$287 which equals $815 while a 27% decrease would be $1102-$298 which also doesn't equal $806. So therefore, the answer is 26.9%because that would equal $1102-$296 which equals $806.
