An item was selling for $72 and is reduced to $60. Find the percent decrease in price. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off... well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333 then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333 so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right?? so your answer should be 80% Hope i helped!!! :D
