Suppose you pay $32 for a pair of shoes that was originally $40 what was the percent of the decrease in price of the shoes set up a proportion and solve show your work
Let’s say that $40=100% and $32=?%. We multiply 100% by $32 which equals 3200. Now we divide by $40 which equals 80. That means $32 is 80%. We now subtract 80% from 100% which equals 20%. That means the answer is 20%
