7. A dress that normally sells for $72 is on sale for $45. what is the percent decrease in the price?

Answer 1

Given:

A dress that normally sells for $72

The dress on sale = $45

The amount of decrease = 72 - 45 = 27

So, the percent of decrease =

$\frac{27}{72}\times100=37.5\%$

So, the answer will be:

The percent decrease in the price = 37.5%
