Answer 1

Answer:

1) 26.1% increase

2) 20% decrease

Work:

1)

-subtract the larger # from the smaller # to figure out what the change was.

$8.8 - 6.5 = 2.3$

-divide 2.3 by the orriginal ammount (8.8) to find your answer as a decimal

$2.3 \div 8.8 = 0.261$

-take 0.261 and multiply it by 100 to have your answer as a percent

$0.2614 \times 100 = 26.1$

-if the original number increased than it is percent increase and if the original number decreased than it is percent decrease

2)

-subtract the larger # from the smaller # to figure out what the change was.

$15 - 12 = 3$

-divide 2.3 by the orriginal ammount (15) to find your answer as a decimal

$3 \div 15 = 0.2$

-take 0.2 and multiply it by 100 to have your answer as a percent

$0.2 \times 100 = 20$

-if the original number increased than it is percent increase and if the original number decreased than it is percent decrease
