Mrs. Faulkner paid $33 at Hobby Lobby for a wreath for her front door that was originally $55. What was the % off on the coupon she used to get her discount? (What was the percent of decrease?)

Respuesta :

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent decrease = (original - new)/original * 100 %

The original price is 55 and the new price is 33.  Substituting these in

                              = (55-33)/55 * 100 %

                              = 22/55 * 100 %

                              =.4*100%

                              = 40%
