the price of a gallon of gas dropped from the summer high price of $3.50 to the winter low price of $2.87. By what percentage was the price of gas reduced?

Respuesta :

Change/initial price*100

(3.50-2.87/3.50)*100
0.18*100=18 %

"18" was the percentage price of gas reduced.

Given:

Summer price,

  • $3.50

Winter price,

  • $2.87

Reduction of the price will be:

  • $0.63

Now,

The percentage will be:

= [tex](\frac{0.63}{3.50}\times 100 )[/tex]

= [tex]9\times 2[/tex]

= [tex]18[/tex] (%)

Thus the above answer is correct.
