Question

What is the percentage of the change from 6 to3?

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of the change from 6 to 3 is a 50% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number '6'.

If the number changes from '6' to '3', means the number reduces to half.

as 6/2 = 3

Thus,

6  → 100%

and when reduces to half

3  → 50%

Thus, the percentage of the change from 6 to 3 is a 50% decrease.

ANOTHER METHOD

% Decrease = (original value - new value) / original value × 100%

                    = (6 - 3) / 6 × 100%

                     = 3/6 × 100%

                     = 0.5 × 100%

                      = 50%

Thus, the percentage of the change from 6 to 3 is a 50% decrease.
