Edgar bought soap yesterday at $5.40. Today he walked by the soap section and notices that the price was $3.40. What is the percent of change of soaps price?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{200}{5.4}[/tex] %

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 5.40 - 3.40 = 2.00
  2. Set up a proportion: [tex]\frac{2}{5.40} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]  
  3. Cross multiply, then divide: 2 × 100 = 200, 200 ÷ 5.40 = [tex]\frac{200}{5.4}[/tex]  

I hope this helps!
