869 * .08 = 69.52
69.52 + 869 = 938.52
938.52- 75 = 863.52
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.

Answer: 19/50
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this case, 38% can be written as the ratio 38 to 100 or 38/100. Notice however that 38/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 38 and 100 which is 2.
38 ÷ 2 = 19
100 ÷ 2 = 50
<em>Therefore, 38% can be written as the fraction 19/50 which is in lowest terms.</em>
