Bread has gone sale at the supermarket. the sale price is $3.50 per loaf and the original price was $4.00 per loaf? whats the percent decrease from original price to sale price?
0.5 / 4 = ?
Multiply your decimal answer by 100 to find the percent.
thanks ms.sue but where did the 0.5 come from?
4.00 - 3.50 = 0.50 = 0.5
You're welcome.
Thanks i get it now.
You are welcome. :-)
To find the percentage decrease from the original price to the sale price, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the amount of decrease: Subtract the sale price from the original price.
Decrease = Original price - Sale price
Decrease = $4.00 - $3.50
Decrease = $0.50
2. Calculate the percentage decrease: Divide the decrease by the original price and multiply by 100.
Percentage Decrease = (Decrease / Original price) * 100
Percentage Decrease = ($0.50 / $4.00) * 100
Percentage Decrease = 0.125 * 100
Percentage Decrease = 12.5%
Therefore, the percentage decrease from the original price of $4.00 to the sale price of $3.50 is 12.5%.
