Question

Original TV cost: $700

Current TV cost: $500
Find the percent of decrease
round to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

Rounded to the nearest whole percent, the answer is 29%.

Answer 2

Answer: 29%

Explanation:

To find the percent of decrease, you need to first calculate the difference between the original cost and the current cost of the TV. You can do this by subtracting the current cost from the original cost: $700 - $500 = $200.

Next, divide the difference by the original cost and multiply by 100% to express the result as a percentage: ($200 / $700) * 100% = 28.57%.

Rounding this result to the nearest whole percent, we get that the percent of decrease is 29%.
