Question

a TV has an original price of for $499.enter the new price after the given percent of change 40% decrease the new price is?

Answer 1

since the price is decreasing, you will substract a precentage.

you could find the 40% of 499 like this

$\begin{gathered} =499\cdot0.4 \\ =199.6 \end{gathered}$

after having this substract it from the original price

$\begin{gathered} =499-199.6 \\ =299.4 \end{gathered}$

the new price will be $299.4
