This math topic focuses on calculating percentage change when numbers decrease, specifically using real-life contexts such as calculating discounts. Problems require determining the percentage reduction on original prices, such as figuring out the percent discount on items originally priced at $40, $70, or $10. Each problem presents potential discounts and asks to identify the correct percentage change, illustrating practical applications of introductory percentage concepts. The problems test comprehension of percentage calculations in the context of price discounts.
