The price of a part drops from $240 to $186. By what percent did the price decrease?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 30 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 22.5 percent
Method
Compare the drop to the original price. The price fell by 240 - 186 = $54, and 54 divided by 240 is 0.225, which is 22.5 percent. Dividing by the new price instead is the usual mistake.
