Answer 1

Answer:

10 %

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage reduction = [(35 - 31.50) ÷ 35 ] × 100

= (3.5 ÷ 35) × 100

= 1/10 × 100 = 10 %

Answer 2

Given - Original and New price

Find - Percentage reduction

Solution - Percentage reduction = reduced price/original price*100

Reduced price = Original price - new price

Reduced price = 35 - 31.5

Reduced price = 3.5

Percentage reduction = $\frac{3.5}{35} \times 100$

Percentage reduction = $\frac{35}{350} \times 100$

Performing multiplication and division to find the percentage reduction.

Percentage reduction = 10%

Hence, the percentage reduction in price of onion is 10%.
