Hey there!
If the price of a CD on sale is 0.65c, then 0.35 was taken off of the original price. You can find this if you subtract 0.65 from 1, or 65% from 100%.
Your answer would not be your second option or your fourth option, since the price you're paying is 0.65 of the original price and you are getting 0.35 of the price off. Also, your third option wouldn't be correct either, since 0.35 isn't being added on top of the total price.
Your answer is your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Hi there!
Your question:
Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what's the percentage change?
My answer:
The formula for calculating percent change is as follows:
[(y2 - y1)/y1]*100=your percent change
y2= first value
y1=second value
Plug the numbers in:
[(300-270)/300]*100
[30/300]*100
0.1*100
10
Therefore, the percent change is 10%
Hope this helps! Let me know if it's incorrect so I can fix it:)
P-paratheses (do any math that has parentheses around the numbers) y=(2x5)+25
E-exponents (do the exponents next) y=(2x5)+5^2
M-multiplying. (Basically everything is self explanatory from here to then cuz im lazy to list examples)
Just basically if you don't use PEMDAS, you'll get the wrong answer
84-48=36
36/3=12
