2/3 is it's simplified form
In order to subtract fractions, we must find a common denominator, then subtract the numerators.
The common denominator (LCM(3, 5)) is 15.
We must multiply the first numerator by 5, because 3*5=15 and the second numerator by 3 because 5*3=15.
We get
.
All we need to do now is subtract the numerators:
.
The answer is 14/15.
Answer:
14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The item dropped from $50 to $43 .
Therefore,
Decrease = $50 - $43
= $7
To get the % decrease, divide the decrease by the initial price and multiply the result by 100%
That’s
$7/$50 x 100%
$0.14 x 100%
= 14%
The price of the item decreased by 14%
Your answer would be 15.6
