Answer:
Your first question: 28% decrease
Your second question: 78% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
general process for both of these will be
<u>1. find the change (final - initial)</u>
<u>2. divide change by initial</u>
(***final means at the end & initial means at the start.)
so for your first question....
<u>1. find the change (final - initial)</u>
final - initial = ?
68 - 95 = -27
<u>2. divide change by initial</u>
-27/95 = -.2842105263 ≈ -<em>28% ===> that's a 28% decrease.</em>
now let's solve the second problem:
<u>1. find the change (final - initial)</u>
final - initial = ?
64 - 36 = 28
<u>2. divide change by initial</u>
28/36 = 0.77777777777 ≈ <em>78% ===> that's a 78% increase.</em>
