Question

Find the percent of change. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if

Answer 1

Answer: a. 14% decrease or 86% of the whole

B. 137.5% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Divide new price by old price and you get .86, change that to a percent by multiplying by 100. That equals 86%, the percent of change would be the difference of 100% to 86%, which is 14%

B. Use above explanation but don’t find the difference. 77/56= 1.375, 1.375*100=137.5
