Question

During peak season, a hotel room costs $135 per night. During the off-season, it costs $90 pernight. Find the percent of change from peak season to off-season.

Answer 1

2. Divide the original cost by the difference between the two costs.
3. Change the decimal to a percent.

Answer 2

30%?

Answer 3

Sorry, but I was wrong in step 2. You should divide the difference by the original cost.

45/135 = 0.3333 = 33%

Off-season is 33% lower than peak season.
