It would be a 12% decrease. 0.88 is 88% (multiply by 100 to find the percentage) of the original price (x, which is 100%). as an example, say x=1000.
0.88(1000)=880
880 is 88% of 1000, but the original price did not decrease by 88%/$880. Instead subtract this percentage from 100.
100%-88%=12%
there, you find the percentage lost/the percentage of the value decrease.
What number is underlined??????
1080 clothespins makes 90 chairs and we need to find out how many clothespins it takes to make 1 chair.
We can set up a proportion of the number of chairs to the number of clothespins because of the proportional relationship.
x is the number of clothes pins for 1 chair

Cross multiply to get
90*x= 1080*1
Divide both sides by 90 to isolate x
x = 12 clothespins
It takes 12 clothespins to make 1 chair.
