To determine if the sale of the Nintendo Switch Mini represents an increase or decrease, we compare the sale price to the original cost:
-
Increase or Decrease: The original cost ($521.73) is higher than the sale price ($413.68). Therefore, this is a decrease.
-
Percent of Change: To find the percent of change, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{\text{Original Price} - \text{Sale Price}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100 \]
Plugging in the numbers:
\[ \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{521.73 - 413.68}{521.73} \right) \times 100 \] \[ = \left( \frac{108.05}{521.73} \right) \times 100 \] \[ \approx 20.7% \]
The percent change is approximately 20.7%, indicating a decrease of about 20.7% from the original price.
