Answer:
29.2 percent decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
the difference between 96 and 68 is 28 bucks
28 is what percent of 96
is over of
x/100 x 28/96
cross multiply=2800/96
divide 2800 by 96 and the answer is 29.1666
The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.
I have two other ways:
Way #1:
5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.
We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.
There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.
Way #2:
-- Get 2 friends to help you.
-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.
-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.
-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.
-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.
Do you still need help?!?!
