Question

The airline tickets to Jamaica that you want to buy just went on sale. They were originally $1100 and the sale price is $600. What percentage is the original price marked down?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = $1100

1% = 100%/100 = 1100/100 = 11

how many % are $600 ?

that is how often does 1% fit into $600 ?

600 / 11 = 54.545454... %

rounded that means 55%.

so, the making down percentage is then the difference

100% - 55% = 45%
