Answer:
The percent of change is 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Original cost of DVD = $26.99
Current price of DVD = $19.99
Difference = 26.99 - 19.99 = $7.00
As the cost is reduced, the percent of change is decreased.
Percent of change = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Original\ cost}*100[/tex]
Percent of change = [tex]\frac{7}{26.99}*100[/tex]
Percent of change = 0.259 * 100
Percent of change = 25.9%
Rounding off to nearest whole percent
Percent of change = 26%
Hence,
The percent of change is 26%.
