An item went on sale for $13 from $16. What percent decrease is this? (Round the answer to the nearest tenths)

Answer 1

Answer:

18.8% (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = 16 - 13 = 3

Decrease % = Decrease/Original x 100%

                    = 3/16 x 100

                    = 0.1875 x 100

                    = 18.75%
