A bookstore is having a sale. The book Bart wanted was originally priced at 14.99. The book is now 10.04. What percentage was the price reduced

1 answer

The original price of the book was $14.99 and the sale price is $10.04. To find the percentage reduction, we need to calculate the difference between the original price and the sale price:

$14.99 - $10.04 = $4.95

Next, we need to find out what percentage of the original price $4.95 is:

($4.95 / $14.99) x 100 = 33%

Therefore, the price was reduced by 33%.
