Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must find the actual decrease in temperature.
Decrease = Yesterday's temperature - Today's temperature
Decrease = 80 - 75
Decrease = 5 degrees
Now, find the percentage decrease.
% Decrease = Actual decrease / Yesterday's temperature x 100
% Decrease = 5/80 x 100
% Decrease = 0.0625 x 100
% Decrease = 6.25 %
So, the percent decrease in high temperature from yesterday to today is 6.25%
Answer:
$5.625
