Step-by-step explanation:

A holiday is reduced from £540 to £459

Reduction = £540 - £459

= £81

Percentage reduction = reduction/initial amount x 100%

That's £81/£540 x 100%

0.15 x 100%

15%

The percentage reduction in price is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage change formula

original price-new price/original X 100

so:

540-459 is £81

£81/£541 is 0.15

0.15 X 100 is 15% reduction
