Someone help with this

Answer 1

Answer:

18% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7,500 - 6,125 = $1,375
2. Set up a proportion: $\frac{1375}{7500} = \frac{x}{100}$  
3. Cross multiply, then divide: 1375 × 100 = 137500, 137500 ÷ 7500 = 18 1/3
4. 18 1/3% rounded = 18%
5. It went down, so it is a decrease

I hope this helps!
