Question

Dylan opened a credit card account with $725.00 of available credit. Now that he has made some purchases, Dylan's account only has $529.25 of available credit. What is the percentage decrease of the amount of available credit in Dylan's account?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 27%

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way to find out percentage is just to plug it into a calculator, or just start a google search... and google will handle the rest.

let me show you why 27% is correct with process of elimination

lets start with...

A) 20%

20% of 725 = 145

now subtract 145 from 725 to find the final amount

725 - 145 = 580 that's obviously not the answer you're looking for, so lets keep going.

B) 37%

37% of 725 = 268.25

725 - 268.25 = 456.75

well that's not right either...

lets try...

C) 27%

27% of 725 = 195.75

725 - 195.75 = 529.25

by trying all the answer choices, you can find your answer very simply by plugging it into google!

i hope this was helpful to you!

stay safe!!
