90. The original cost of a camera of a camera is 150 dollars, Now it decreased into 65 dollars. Let’s solve for the percent of decreased in the price of the camera. => 150 = 100% => 65 / 150 = .43 => .43 * 100% = 43%, 65 = 43% of the amount => 100% - 43% = 57% Thus, the price of the camera decreased for about 57% of the original price and now only costs 43% of the original price.
