Answer:

The answer is 2%

2.85 is 98.2 % of 2.90.

100% - 98.2 % = 1.8 which rounds to 2%.

There was a 2% decrease.

Well, the chances are 3 to 1 in the first question, because there are three pencils and only one pen. In the second box it is a 50-50 chance that you will pick a crayon, because there are equal amounts of colored pencils and crayons in the second box. The numbers that I gave you aren't the fractions though. See if you can go from here.
