Question: 265

11. At a local store, an item that usually sells for $45 is currently on sale for $30. By what percent is that item discounted?

  • A. 10%
  • B. 25%
  • C. 33%
  • D. 50%

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C To find percent change, use this formula: % change = × 100. The difference here is $45 - $30 = $15, and the item was originally $45, so × 100. This reduces to × 100. To solve, = = 33 %. The correct answer is (C).
