so the price difference is 19500 - 16770 = 2730.
if we take 19500 to be the 100%, what is 2730 off of it in percentage?
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 19500&100\\ 2730&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{19500}{2730}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{50}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 50x=700 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{700}{50}\implies x=14[/tex]
Answer:
The answer is 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Divide 19500 by 16770
16770/19500= 0.86
2) Multiply by 100 (this is the percentage between the original and find prices of the car)
0.86(100)= 86%
3) Subtract 86% from 100% to find the change in percentage
100-86= 14%
Therefore, the percentage decrease of the price of the car is 14%.
Hope this helps!
