The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>
<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>
<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>
<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes Molly has. Then she has 18-d nickels, and the total value (in cents) of her coins is ...
5(18 -d) +10d = 105
5d +90 = 105 . . . . . . simplify
5d = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 90
d = 3 . . . . . . . . divide by 5; number of dimes
18-d = 15 . . . . . number of nickels
Molly has 3 dimes and 15 nickels.
