Question: 581
10. 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:
To find percent change, use the 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).
