Answer 1

An option that best approximates the percent decrease in consumption of wood power in the United States from 2000 to 2010 is (B) 11%.

What is the percentage?

• A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100 in mathematics.
• The percent sign, "%," is commonly used, but the abbreviations "pct.", "pct," and sometimes "pc" is also used.
• A percentage is a number with no dimensions; it has no unit of measurement.

To find an option that best approximates the percent decrease in consumption of wood power in the United States from 2000 to 2010:

• Looking at the numerical value of wood energy source in 2000, it is 2.25, while it drops to 2.00 in 2010.
• So, the percentage decrease in the value is given by:
• (2.25 - 2.00)/2.25 × 100
• 0.25./2.25 × 100
• 100/9
• 11.11
• ≈11

Therefore, an option that best approximates the percent decrease in consumption of wood power in the United States from 2000 to 2010 is (B) 11%.
