Question

Find the percent of decrease if 110 is decreased to 88 A) 125% B)80% C)20%

Answer 1

C is correct which is 20%

Answer 2

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have 110 minus a certain percent of 110 equals 88. Let's call this percent p and solve.

110-110p=88

We subtract 110 from both sides.

-110p=-22

We divide both sides by 110.

p=0.2

Therefore, the percent decrease is C) 20%.

Have a wonderful day! :D
