Answer:

35.29%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Market price of the used book = $85

Discounted price = $55

Now,

The percentage change in the book price will be calculated as:

=\frac{\textup{Market price - Discounted price}}{\textup{Market price}}\times100

on substituting the respective values, we get

=\frac{85-55}{85}\times100

= 35.29%

Hence,

the percentage change in the book price is 35.29%

Stella [2.4K]

When the firm decides to produce organic fruit rather than non dash organic fruit, then they are answering the question of "What?". And the when the firm finds out who gets the goods and services that are produced, they are answering the question of "Who?".
