Question

If a loaf of bread was priced $1.50 on one day and $1.20 the next, what is the percent decrease

of the price of the loaf of bread?

Answer 1

20 percent decrease

Explanation:

0.15 cents is 10 percent of 1.50, and that multiplied by 2 is 0.30 cents. 0.30 cents is equal to 20 percent, and the difference between 1.50 and 1.20 is 30 cents.
