Question

Sonya expected to get 60$ for her birthday, but she only got 40$. what was the percentage decrease of the amount sonya recieved?

Answer 1

Original price= 60
New price =40
Change in value=new price -original price
Change in value= 40-60
Change in value=-20
%decreased=change in value/original pricex100%
%decreased=20/60x100
%decreased= 33.3%
If rounded for the nearest whole number then it is 33%
