The price of a diamond ring was reduced from $999.99 to $399.99. Find the percent in price.

1 answer

We can start by finding the difference between the original price and the sale price:

$999.99 - $399.99 = $600

This means that the price was reduced by $600. To find the percentage decrease, we need to divide this amount by the original price and multiply by 100:

$600 ÷ $999.99 × 100 ≈ 60%

Therefore, the price was reduced by about 60%.
