Question

Percent change, "a price of a dirt bike dropped from $872 to $600"

Answer 1

Percent change is −31.19%.

Explanation:

It is given that "a price of a dirt bike dropped from $872 to $600".

Initial price = $872

New price = $600

We need to find the Percent change.

`\text{Percent change}=\frac{\text{New price - Initial price}}{\text{Initial price}}* 100`

`\text{Percent change}=(600-872)/(872)* 100`

`\text{Percent change}=(-272)/(872)* 100`

`\text{Percent change}=-31.19266`

`\text{Percent change}\approx -31.19`

Therefore, the percent change is −31.19%.
