Answer:

The percent decrease was 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old)/(Old) * 100 = % Change

Now input 48 for the New price and 60 for the Old price.

(48 - 60)/(60) * 100 = % Change

12/60 * 100 = % Change

.2 * 100 = % Change

20 = % Change

First question: 2x = 50
Explanation:
“2 times as many” in this situation means that the pages justin read (50) is twice as Colin’s. Meaning that to find the number of pages Colin’s read, we will have to divide 50 by 2.
2x = 50 is an equivalent representation of that.
