Question

a dvd originally costs $26.99. its current price is $19.99. what is the percent of change rounded to the nearest whole percent?

Answer 1

The percent of change is 26%.

Explanation:

Given that:

Original cost of DVD = $26.99

Current price of DVD = $19.99

Difference = 26.99 - 19.99 = $7.00

As the cost is reduced, the percent of change is decreased.

Percent of change =
`(Difference)/(Original\ cost)*100`

Percent of change =
`(7)/(26.99)*100`

Percent of change = 0.259 * 100

Percent of change = 25.9%

Rounding off to nearest whole percent

Percent of change = 26%

Hence,

The percent of change is 26%.
