Question

a diamond ring was reduced from $799.99 to $499.99 find the percent decrease in the price round the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary​

Answer 1

The price was reduced by about 53%

Explanation:

Per cent of change = (amount of change) ÷ (original amount)

% change = (799.99 - 375.99)/799.99

= 424 / 799

= .5300

= 53 %
