A plane ticket to Barcelona costs £175 The price decreases by 6%. Work out the new price of the plane ticket.

Accepted Solution

A:
What I like to do to solve these is to divide the 175 by 100 because that's kind of what it relates to a percent... and then I multiply by 96. So in this problem:
175/100= 1.75
1.75 x 94 and then that equals your answer 164.50 euros is the new cost of the ticket.
Hope this Helps!
P.S a thanks or brainliest would mean a lot. :)
