Answer 2

Answer:

Percentage change = 19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new price is lesser than the original price the percentage change will be a decrease.

To find the percentage change use the formula

$Percentage \: \: change = \frac{change}{original \: \: quantity} \times 100$

To find the change subtract the new price from the original price

new price = $199.95

original price = $246.95

Change = $246.95 - $ 199.95 = $47

$Percentage \: \: change = \frac{47}{246.95} \times 100$

Percentage change = 19%
