What is the percent of change from 6,000 to 60?
1 answer:
Answer: 99% decrease
Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.
The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.
6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0<em>.</em>99.
Finally, since the problem is asking us for the <em>percent</em>, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.
So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.

I don't know if the first set of numbers is all in one set, but I'll do my best to give you an answer.
Really all you need to do is use PEMDAS for the first question.
(Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract. In that order)
Then to simplify that fraction next to it, notice that 0.018 is 3x 0.06.
that's a 3:1 ratio, so it ends up simplifying to this:
Lastly, to solve the division of that fraction. If you divide by a fraction, you multiply whatever it's dividing by its inverse.
