Answer:
Percent change is −31.19%.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that "a price of a dirt bike dropped from $872 to $600".
Initial price = $872
New price = $600
We need to find the Percent change.
[tex]\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{\text{New price - Initial price}}{\text{Initial price}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{600-872}{872}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{-272}{872}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent change}=-31.19266[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent change}\approx -31.19[/tex]
Therefore, the percent change is −31.19%.
