Math Problem Statement

Calculate the percentage reduction in the price of the camera.

Solution

To calculate the percentage reduction in the price of the camera, we can use the formula for percentage decrease:

Percentage Reduction=Original PriceNew PriceOriginal Price×100\text{Percentage Reduction} = \frac{\text{Original Price} - \text{New Price}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100

From the image:

  • Original Price = $400
  • New Price = $280

Now, substitute the values:

Percentage Reduction=400280400×100\text{Percentage Reduction} = \frac{400 - 280}{400} \times 100

Percentage Reduction=120400×100\text{Percentage Reduction} = \frac{120}{400} \times 100

Percentage Reduction=0.3×100=30%\text{Percentage Reduction} = 0.3 \times 100 = 30\%

Final Answer:

The percentage reduction in the price of the camera is 30%.
