Question

a sofa regularly sells for $460. the sale price is $372.60. find the percent decrease of the sale price from the regular price.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the amount of decrease

Subtract the sale price from the regular price: $460 - 372.60 = 87.4$

Step2: Calculate the percent decrease

Use the formula $\text{Percent Decrease} = \frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100\%$. Substitute the values: $\frac{87.4}{460} \times 100\% = 0.19 \times 100\% = 19\%$

Answer:

19%
