the price of a car is reduced from 1500 to 1050 by what percentage is the price reduced?
The answer is 30%.
1. Do 1500-1050=450
2. Put that number over your original number 450/1500
3. Make that fraction be over 100 (might have to do multiple steps depending on how you do it)
4. Then you should have your answer 30/100 = 30%
Well, let me calculate that with a little clown math magic!
Originally, the price of the car was $1500, and it got reduced to $1050.
To find the percentage of the reduction, we can subtract $1050 from $1500 and then divide it by the original price ($1500) and multiply it by 100.
So, the percentage reduction is (1500 - 1050) / 1500 * 100.
Doing some quick math here... Ah, voila! The price is reduced by 30%.
Why did the car price go on a diet? Because it wanted to make a "savings" in pounds!
To find the percentage by which the price is reduced, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the difference between the original price and the reduced price.
Difference = Original Price - Reduced Price
In this case, the original price is $1500 and the reduced price is $1050.
Difference = $1500 - $1050 = $450
Step 2: Calculate the percentage reduction.
Percentage Reduction = (Difference / Original Price) * 100
Plug in the values:
Percentage Reduction = ($450 / $1500) * 100 = 30%
Therefore, the price is reduced by 30%.
