A 12% discount on a tent saved melanie $75 what was the original price

1 answer:

7 0

So 12% of a number is $75
12% of x is 75
0.12 of x is 75
0.12 * x = 75
divide both numbers by 0.12
x = 625

To check:
12% of 625 =?= 75
75 = 75

Hope this helps

The number of apples in a box decreased from 150 to 135. What is the percent decrease of the number of apples in the box?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is:

$\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100$

Therefore, for this example:

$\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100=\frac{135-150}{150} \times 100=-10\%$

The negative value indicates that the change was a decrease. Therefore, there was a 10% decrease.
