The price of an item has been lowered two times, each time by \(p\)%.

Find \(p\), if the final price of the item is \(19\)% lower than the starting price.

At the end, the price is 81%. That means each time the price becomes 90% of what it was previously. There was a 10% decrease each time.

x * r      *r    = .81x

r2 =.81

r = .9

 

p = 1 - r        p = 10 %
