An antique shop has four different vases (vase 1, vase2, vase3, vase4) which are valued at different prices. If vase2 is 30% less in value than vase1, vase3 is 10% less than vase2, and vase4 is 5% less than vase3. what percent of vase1's cost is a vase3?
Options:
A) 50.85%
B) 59.85%
C) 60.85%
D) 40.5%
E) 39.85%
Let the cost of vase1 be $100   I) vase2 is 30% less in value than vase1--100-30=70   II) vase3 is 10% less than vase2--70-7=63   III) vase4 is 5% less than vase3--63-3.15=59.85   what percent of vase1's cost is a vase3=59.85*100/100   Answer is 59.85%
