A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. ... When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
Some examples of rate include cost rates, (for example potatoes cost R16,95 per kg or 16,95 R/kg) and speed (for example, a car travels at 60 km/h). When we calculate rate, we divide by the second value, so we are finding the amount per one unit.
Answer:
The original price was reduced 35%
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Jeans are reduced from $28.00 to $18.20
In this problem
The original price of 28.00 represent 100%
so
using proportion
Find out what percentage represent the difference between the original price and the new price
![\frac{28}{100}=\frac{28-18.20}{x}\\\\x=100(9.8)/28\\\\x=35\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B28%7D%7B100%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B28-18.20%7D%7Bx%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D100%289.8%29%2F28%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D35%5C%25)
therefore
The original price was reduced 35%
