The
price
of
a
carpet
was
reduced
by
40%.
If
the
original
price
was
$90,
what
was
the
amount
by
which
the
price
was
reduced?
To
find
a
percentage
of
a
number,
multiply
that
number
by
the
percent.
The
percent
is
called
the
rate
and
number
is
called
the
base.
Percentage
=
Rate
x
Base
First,
change
the
percent
to
an
equivalent
decimal.
Then
multiply
this
by
the
base
value
of
90.
Percentage
=
Rate
xBase
0.40x90
=
36
Thus,
the
40%
price
reduction
of
$90
is
$36.
