The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is: 
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>

<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>

<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>

<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>

<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>

Nicole wants to rent a boat and spend less than $33. The boat costs $6 per hour , and Nicole has a discount coupon for $9 off. W
eimsori [14]

Answer: Nicole can spend up to 7 hours in the boat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the possible number of hours that can be used will be calculated as thus:

(6 × t) - 9 ≤ 33

6t - 9 ≤ 33

Collect like terms

6t ≤ 33 + 9

6t ≤ 42

Divide both side by the coefficient of t

6t/6 ≤ 42/6

t ≤ 7

Nicole can spend up to 7 hours in the boat.
