Percentages?? Again??

Question

Sorry, my last question wasn't very clear.

Ok, so a top I like is $30.00, it's been marked down to $25.00

How much percent is the mark down?

How do I work out the percentage?

Answer 1

take the original pirce minus the present price which is 30-25  =5

then put the discounted amount over the original price and times it by 100 and that will give you the answer like below

     5

  ____  * 100

    30

=16.666

=16.67%

Answer 2

$25.00 is 83.333%(repeater)of $30.00

Answer 3

hi

25/30  =  x/100

x= 25*100/30  

almost   x=83%

Answer 4

it's been marked down by 16.67%

30 - 25 = $5

$5 = how much it was marked down

5 out of 30 = % it was marked down

5 divided by 30 = 0.166666667

turn that into a percent = 16.67

Answer 5

You have to use cross multiplication:

$30.00 is 100% of the money, correct? so that means that;

$25.00 is X% of the money, right? X being an unknown number. So you have to cross multiply:

30x = 25*100    Do what you can, multiply 25*100

30x = 2,500

30x/30 = 2,500/30    Divide both sides by 30 to get rid of 30x

x = 83.33%    Theres your answer

Okay so now you got 83.3%, but thats not the percentage marked down, its what percentage it is of 100. So you have to minue it by 100:

100 - 83.3 = 17.7%

And 17.7% is the final answer.

Answer 6

to work it out it is score divided by total times 100

so if u got 25 in a test out of 50

u wld work it out

25/50 X 100= 50%

also, ur top is 1/6 marked down which is 17%

hope this helps u

also, u can get good online percentage calculators online: so u dnt have to do the hard work
