Answer:
The required proportion is [tex]\frac{p}{100}=\frac{24.50-17.95}{24.50}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The price of a recipe-book was reduced from $24.50 to$17.95.
The original price is 24.50
Reduced price is 17.95.
Let p represents the percent decrease in price of the book.
[tex]\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{\text{Original price-Reduced price}}{\text{Original price}}\times 100[/tex]
Now substitute the respective values in the above formula.
[tex]p=\frac{24.50-17.95}{24.50}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\frac{p}{100}=\frac{24.50-17.95}{24.50}[/tex]
Hence, the required proportion is [tex]\frac{p}{100}=\frac{24.50-17.95}{24.50}[/tex].
