How do you find percentage lost

Mathematics

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)

Answer:

It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on the questions, some times you just substract the number from 100 which is the full percentage but sometimes it is like the example below.

lets say a city lost 2% of population each year population now?

98/100*98*100=0.9604= 96.04%

so the lost hear is 100-96.04=3.96

Look at the figure shown below:
boyakko [2]

These are the steps, with their explanations and conclusions:


1) Draw two triangles: ΔRSP and ΔQSP.


2) Since PS is perpendicular to the segment RQ, ∠ RSP and ∠ QSP are equal to 90° (congruent).


3) Since S is the midpoint of the segment RQ, the two segments RS and SQ are congruent.


4) The segment SP is common to both ΔRSP and Δ QSP.


5) You have shown that the two triangles have two pair of equal sides and their angles included also equal, which is the postulate SAS: triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles.


Then, now you conclude that, since the two triangles are congruent, every pair of corresponding sides are congruent, and so the segments RP and PQ are congruent, which means that the distance from P to R is the same distance from P to Q, i.e. P is equidistant from points R and Q
