the price of a video game was reduced from $60 to $45. by what percentage was the price of the video game was reduced

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

60-45 = 15

This means that the game price dropped $15

$15 out of the original $60 is 15/60 = .25 and .25 in percent form is 25 %

Answer 2

If the initial price is $60, then $60 is 100% of the price. The new price, $45, can be expressed as a percentage of $60 by taking it as a fraction of $60, converting to a decimal value, and multiplying by 100%.

$45/$60=3/4=0.75, 0.75x100%=75%. So since 100%-75%=25%, the value was reduced by 25%.
