The sale price of a spring break vacation package was 119.99 and the travel agent said by booking early you saved 50.00 find the percent decrease in price.

Respuesta :

Given that the initial sale price of the package is 119.99, and the discount price when purchased early is 50, the percent decrease in price is calculated as

[tex]\text{percent decrease = }\frac{\text{discount price}}{initialsale\text{ price}}\times100[/tex]

This is evaluated to be

[tex]\frac{50}{119.9}\times100=\frac{5000}{119.9}=41.70[/tex]

Hence, the percentage decrease in price is 41.70
