What we need to do is find the difference between the two numbers to find the difference in price and then figure out what the percent of 23.5 that is

23.50-18.80=4.7

now we'll set up a proportion

4.7 x
----- = -----
23.5 100

then cross multiply and divide

100×4.7=470/23.5=20

the percent of decrease is 20%

I hope I've helped!

Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter. Now she has 24,575 dogs. The rate of change is 391.5 % increase

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter

Now she has 24,575 dogs

To find: rate of change

A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity

<h3><u>Steps to follow:</u></h3>

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number.

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% change = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

$\text {rate of change }=\frac{\text { new value }-\text {original value}}{\text {original value}} \times 100$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { rate of change }=\frac{24,575-5000}{5000} \times 100} \\\\ {\text { rate of change }=\frac{19575}{5000} \times 100=391.5}\end{array}$

Thus the rate of change is 391.5 % increase
