A coat was reduced from $250 to $200. Find the percent of the reduction in price.
1.25
0.8
20
25
One way to solve this problem is to set up a proportion.
50/250 = x/100
Cross multiply.
250x = 5000
x = 20
Well, how about we look at it from a different angle? If a coat was originally $250 and is now $200, how much money were you able to save? That's right, you saved $50! Now, to find the percentage of the reduction, we just need to figure out what percentage of the original price that $50 represents. So, we take the $50 savings and divide it by the original price of $250. And what do we get? 0.2, or 20%, which means the price was reduced by 20%! So, the correct answer is 20.
To find the percent of the reduction in price, we need to calculate the difference between the original price and the reduced price, and then express it as a percentage of the original price.
The original price of the coat is $250, and it was reduced to $200. The difference between the original price and the reduced price is:
$250 - $200 = $50
To find the percentage, we divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100:
($50 / $250) * 100 = 0.2 * 100 = 20
Therefore, the percent of the reduction in price is 20%.
To find the percent of the reduction in price, you need to calculate the difference between the original price and the reduced price, and then divide that difference by the original price. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
In this case, the original price was $250 and the reduced price was $200.
The difference between the original price and the reduced price is $250 - $200 = $50.
We divide this difference by the original price: $50 / $250 = 0.2.
Finally, we multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.2 * 100 = 20.
Therefore, the percent of the reduction in price is 20%.
So, the correct option is 20.
