Given:
Value of gold = 8,590
decrease in value = 3%
8,590 * 3% = 257.70 amount lost due to recession.
8,590 - 257.70 = 8,332.30 new value of gold.
First, convert 17/3 to an improper fraction. 17/3 becomes 5 2/3.
Then convert 5 2/3 to a decimal.
5 2/3 becomes 5.666...
Then convert the decimal to a percent.
5.666... becomes approximately 566.66%
Wouldn't this be science because it's dealing with temperature?
