Question

PLEASE HELP 10 POINTS

Answer 1

Answer:

10.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price = $2.40

Price after drop = $2.15

The drop = $2.40 - $2.15 = $0.25

Percentage decrease = $\frac{decrease}{original-price}$ × 100

i.e Percentage decrease = $\frac{0.25}{2.40}$ × 100 = 10.41666667%

Or 10.4% (Rounded up to nearest tenth of a percent).
