Question

Carey is trying to decide between two guitars. The first had an original price of $160, but is on sale for $100. The second had an original price of $250, but is on sale for $150. Which guitar has a greater percent change in price?

Answer 1

HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS HERE...

CP OF GUITAR A - $160

SP OF GUITAR A - $100

CP - SP ( TOTAL CHANGE ) = $60

NOW CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE =

$percentage = \frac{total \: change \: }{c.p} \times 100$

$percentage \: = \frac{60}{160} \times 100$

$hence \: total \: change \: in \: \\ percentage \: = \\ 35.7\%$

NOW IN CASE 2 ......

CP OF GUITAR B - $250

SP OF GUITAR B - $150

CP-SP (TOTAL CHANGE ) = $100

NOW CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE =

$percentage \: = \frac{100}{250} \times 100$

$hence \: change \: in \: \: percentage\: \\ \\ = 40\%$

HENCE GUITAR B HAVE GREATEST CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE...
