Question: An aquarium is on sale for $59.50. If this price represents a 15% discount from the original price, what is the original price?
First, you multiply the sale price and the 15% discount
![$59.50*.15 = [tex]$8.92](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2459.50%2A.15%20%3D%20%5Btex%5D%248.92)
[/tex] (To change the percent to a decimal, you take out the percentage sign and divide by 100)
Now add $59.50 to $8.92

Answer:
12% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease, take the original amount and subtract the new amount
650-572=78
Divide this amount by the original amount
78/650 =.12
Multiply by 100
.12*100 = 12
Add the percent symbol
12% decrease
10% of 65
Of means multiply
=0.1 x 65
=6.5
Or you can use another way which is (part/whole) *(percent/100)
Whole=65
Percent=10
And part(part of 65)=unknown
(X/65)* (10/100)
Cross multiply
x= 6.5
So 10% of 65 is 6.5
