Answer:

54.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find this by dividing 43 and 79:

[tex]\frac{43}{79}= 0.5443[/tex]

Multiply this by 100 to convert to a percent (or just move the decimal to the left two spaces):

[tex]0.5443*100=54.43[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place):

[tex]54.43=54.4[/tex]

The price was reduced by about 54.4%
