Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one- Find out how much it costs for one Lizard In this case, for four lizards it costs $47.88. To find the price for one lizard you divide 47.88 by four
$47.88/4Lizards=$11.97 per lizard.
Step two- Now that we have the price for one lizard, your question asks you how much for 6 lizards. We need to find that cost. To do so you multiply $11.97 by 6 for the lizards.
Your answer is $71.82
