Question

The Shoe Stop is having a sale on sneakers. The original price for a pair of high-top sneakers was $135.00. The sale price for the sneakers is $94.50. What is the percent decrease in the price of the sneakers?

A. 30%

B. 40.5%

C. 42.9%

D. 70%

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A. 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 135 by 0.30 (30%) which gives you 40.5

Then, since there was a decrease in price, you would subtract 40.5 from 135 which would equal the sale price of the sneakers, 94.50

Answer 2

D.70%

70% of 135.00 = 0.7 × 135.00 = 94.5
