Question

last week the game system was $450. This week the system is on sale for $337.50. By what percent is the price reduced?

Answer 1

25% reduced
you take 337.50 divide by 450 which gives you .75
so you take 100% minus 75% and you get 25%

you can check the work by taking 450 time .25 which gives you 112.5 . and subtract that from 450 you'll end up with 337.50
