The price of a specic model of a new car decreased from $23,000 to $21,000 in one year. What is the
1 answer:
The decrease is 8.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Old price = $23000
New price = $21000
Difference = New price - Old price
Difference = 21000 - 23000 = -2000
The negative sign indicates the decrease.
Rounding off to nearest tenth;
Percent decrease = 8.7%
The decrease is 8.7%
