Question

11. The price of a bottle of water at a store decreases from $1.65 to $1.40. Rounded to the nearest

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 15.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the new price from the old one to find the dollar amount that the water bottle price was reduced.

$1.65-1.40=0.25$

The price was reduced by 25 cents, but we need to find the percentage. To do that, we divide the price reduction by the original price.

$0.25/1.65=0.152$

And then move the decimal place over two spots (multiply by 100)

15.2
