The price of a pair of jeans decreases from $45 to $40. What is the approximate percentage of decreas

To calculate the percentage decrease, you can use the formula:

Percentage decrease = ((original price - new price) / original price) * 100

Plugging in the values given:

Percentage decrease = (($45 - $40) / $45) * 100
= ($5 / $45) * 100
= 0.1111 * 100
= 11.11%

Therefore, the approximate percentage decrease in the price of the pair of jeans is approximately 11.11%.
