Question

Today, the price of a new cell phone is $129.

In 2000, the price of a similar cell phone was $240.
What is the percent of change in the price of a cell phone from 2000 to today? Round to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

54%

Explanation:

129/240 = 0.5375 (divided to find the % change)

0.5375 * 100 (to convert decimal to percent form)

53.7 which is rounded to 54 percent (I needed to round it to the nearest whole percent number)
