Question

the price of a video game was reduced from $70 to $55. By what percentage was the price of the video game reduced?

Answer 1

Answer:

21.4% or 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

70 - 55 = $15

(15 / 70) × 100 = %

0.214 × 100 = 21.4%

Answer 2

Answer: 21.43%

Step-by-step explanation: X/100 * 70 = 55

70X/100 = 55

7X/10 =55

7X = 55 * 10

7X = 550

Divide both sides by 7

7X/7 = 550/7

X = 78.57%

Hence, 100% - 78.57% = 21.43%
