Answer:
Find out the what is the price of oranges this week .
To prove
As given
last week the price of oranges at the farmers market was $1.75 per pound.
This week a price has decreased by 20% .
20% is written in the decimal form
[tex]= \frac{20}{100}[/tex]
= 0.20
Decreased in the price = 0.20 × 1.75
= $0.35
The price of oranges this week = Price of orange at last week - Decreased in the price
= $1.75 - $0.35
= $ 1.4
Therefore the price of oranges this week is $1.4 .
