Question 1057517: A skateboard is regularly priced at $80. Witha coupon, you will save $12. What is the percent of change

percent of change = (amount of change)/(original price)

percent of change = (-12)/(80)

percent of change = -0.15 = -15%

The negative percent change indicates the price has gone down 15%
