8.54 / 8.75 =0.975

1 - 0.975 = 0.025

Answer:

2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the formula for percentage change (Mathisfun)

\displaystyle \rm \text{Percentage Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%.

Note that the old value shall be the one on the denominator.

For this question:

\displaystyle \rm \begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Change} &= \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%\\ &= \frac{8.75 - 8.54}{8.75}\times 100\%\\&= -2.4\%\end{aligned}.

The value here is negative, but don't be alerted. A positive value of change indicates an increase, while a negative value of change indicates a decrease. In other words, the stock price dropped by 2.4%.

Allushta [10]
I think that the 4 sisters get 3 pieces each of the muffins because if you cut it in four pieces it gives one piece to each one of the four sisters and you keep doing it with the other two left muffins.

blagie [28]

Answer:
