Question

Mrs. Johnson put 22,250 miles

Answer 1

The change in quantities can be represented as percentage

The percentage decrease in miles driven is 34.83%

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Initial = 22250}$

$\mathbf{Final = 14500}$

The percentage decrease is calculated as:

$\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial} \times 100\%}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{14500- 22250}{22250} \times 100\%}$

$\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{-7750}{22250} \times 100\%}$

$\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{-775000}{22250} \%}$

$\mathbf{\%Decrease = -34.83 \%}$

The negative sign implies that, the change represents a decrement.

Hence, the percentage decrease in miles driven is 34.83%
