Question

Gas prices have really decreased in the past month. At the beginning of March I paid $2.15 per gallon. I just recently filled my tank and it was $1.56. What was the percent of decrease to the nearest tenths place?

Answer 1

Answer: 27.44 % decrease in gas prices

Step-by-step explanation: First subtract 2.15 by 1.56 to get 0.59

then divide it by the starting value which is 2.15

0.59 divided by 2.15 is  approximately 0.2744

then multiply times 100 to get 27.44 %
