The price of a car has been reduced from $19,000 to $16,150. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the car?
A.
1.5%
B.
15%
C.
85%
D.
28.5%
B. 15%
To calculate the percentage decrease, you first need to find the difference between the original price and the reduced price:
$19,000 - $16,150 = $2,850
Then, to find the percentage decrease, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100:
($2,850 / $19,000) * 100 = 15%
Therefore, the percentage decrease of the price of the car is 15%.
