Answer:

20% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the net decrease: Peter started at 80kg and his weight is now 64kg, which is a 16kg decrease. Next, we need to find what percentage of 80kg 16kg represents. First, let's find what part of 80 is 16:

16/80 = 1/5

To convert this to a percent, we need to find an equivalent fraction to 1/5 with a denominator of 100. To do this, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 20, giving us 20/100, or 20%.

His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.

While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment. But studying the way that Faulkner wrote when he turned to the subjects he knew best provides an object lesson on how powerful a literary resource intimacy can be
