Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: $15

Step 2: 38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

40 - 25 =15.

Therefore, the price would decrease by $15.

Step 2:

40 multiplied by .38 equals 24.80. You would round that up to 25. If you plugged in 37%, it would equal 25.20, which is over the price. Therefore the price decreased by 38%.
