The Hogwarts Express train has reduced its one-way fare from 360 galleons to just 270 galleons. What is the percentage decrease in the fare? *

Sagot :

Answer:   25% decrease

=======================================================

Work Shown:

A = old value = 360

B = new value = 270

C = percent change

C = (B-A)/A

C = (270-360)/360

C = -90/360

C = -0.25

C = -25%

The negative C value indicates we have a percent decrease.

Note how 25% of 360 = 0.25*360 = 90, meaning that the price has dropped by 90 galleons. And also note that 360-270 = 90 is that same figure of 90. This helps confirm the answer.
