Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of the price of television reduced to 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The price of a television was reduced $250 to $200.

Now, to find the percentage of the reduced price of television.

So, to get the reduced amount of television:

Old price = $250.

New price = $200.

Reduced amount = $250 - $200 = $50.

Now, to get the percentage of price reduced:

$\frac{Reduced\ amount}{Old\ price} \times 100$

$=\frac{50}{250}\times 100$

$=\frac{5000}{250}$

$=20\%.$

Therefore, the percentage of the price of television reduced to 20%.
