Answer:
25% of 30% of 400 = 30
33% decrease in value
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either get 30% of 400 first then 25% of 400 or you can get the total percentage of 400.
Method 1:
30% of 400 = 0.3 of 400 = 0.3 * 400 = 120
25% of 120 = .25 of 120 = .25 * 120 = 30
Method 2:
30% of 25% = 0.3 * 0.25 = 0.075 = 7.5% of 400
7.5% of 400 = 0.075 of 400 = 0.075 * 400 = 30
5.) To find the percentage of the new price, you can build the equation below.
The percentage decrease in price is then 100% of the original price - 66.667% of the original price = 100% - 66.67% = 33.33% = 33% decrease.
