Answer:
c. The price of grapefruits experienced a reduction 6.01 percentage points greater than the price of pineapples.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of Pineapples=$5.15
New price of Pineapples=$3.88
Find change in price of Pineapples
Change in price=original price- new price
[tex]=5.15-3.88=1.27[/tex]
The price of Pineapple was reduced by $1.27
% reduction in price
(reduction value/original value) × 100
[tex]=\frac{1.27}{5.15} *100=24.66[/tex]
=24.66%
The original price of grape fruits=$2.25
New price of grape fruits=$1.56
Change in price of grape fruit
Change in price= original price -new price
[tex]=2.25-1.56=0.69[/tex]
% reduction in price of grape fruits
(reduction value/original value)×100
[tex]=\frac{0.69}{2.25} *100=30.67[/tex]
=30.67%
