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>

Divide 28 cans of soda into two groups so the ratio is 3 to 4
kaheart [24]
First, you add the two ratio numbers to figure out what to divide your 28 cans of soda by.

3=4=7
Next, you divide this amount into your total amount of cans of soda.

28/7=4.

This means that for each one in the ratio, there is 4 cans.  So you multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

3*4 = 12
4*4=16

So, your final answer is 12:16, or 12 cans of soda in one group, and 16 cans of soda in the other.
