Re: A certain brand of imported cigars costs $30 for a box [#permalink] 28 Dec 2016, 15:22 Expert's post Explanation Twenty cigars bought individually would cost$40, so apply the percent change formula — $$\frac{difference}{original}\times 100$$ —to determine Quantity A. In this case, the difference is $10, and the original, because it’s a percent decrease, is$40: $$\frac{10}{40} \times 100 = 25$$, so Quantity A is 25%.

Quantity B is greater.

$$33\frac{1}{3}$$ is to be read as 33.33?
