Question

A new pair of shoes cost $78. They are on sale for $60.06. What is the percent of change?

Answer 1

Answer: 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a new pair of shoes cost $78 and that they are on sale for $60.06.

The percent of change will be calculated as:

Change/ Cost price × 100

= [(78 - 60.06) / 78] × 100

= (17.94 / 78) × 100

= 0.23 × 100

= 23%
