Question

Helen got a $7 reduction in the price of a pair of jeans that are normally $32. What is the approximate percent decrease in the price?

Answer 1

21.875% is your answer

Answer 2

She got a 21.8% reduction in the prize

Explanation:

Step one :

Since the required prize for the Jean is $32 normally without deductible

And she was allowed an offset/deductible of $7

Hence she paid 32-7= $25

Step two:

To get the percentage of reduction

We will have to divide the offset amount by the actual amount

I. e

Percentage reduction = (7/32)*100

=0.218*100

=21.8%
