During peak seasons, a hotel room costs $135 per night. During the off-seasons, it costs $90 per night. What is the percent of change from peak season to off-season?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
135 - 90 = 45
100 * (45/135) = _______ %
To find the percent of change from peak season to off-season, you need to calculate the difference between the two prices and then express it as a percentage of the original price.
1. Start with the peak season price of $135 per night.
2. Subtract the off-season price of $90 per night: $135 - $90 = $45.
3. Divide the difference by the original price: $45 / $135 = 0.3333.
4. Multiply by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage: 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%.
Therefore, the percent of change from peak season to off-season is approximately 33.33%.
