Question

round your answer to the nearest cent.
$

Explanation:

Step1: Define the relationship

Let \( x \) be the cost last year. This year's price is \( 50 \), which is \( 0\% \) less than last year. A \( 0\% \) decrease means the price is the same as last year. So we set up the equation: \( x - 0\% \times x=50 \), which simplifies to \( x = 50 \) (since \( 0\% \) of \( x \) is \( 0 \), so \( x-0 = 50 \)).

Answer:

\( \$50.00 \)
