Answer: 0.4 >-8 /9(8+7)
Sorry if it isn't correct!!
Decrease = (original number - new number) / original number .....x 100
decrease = (49 - 22) / 49.....* 100 =
(27 / 49) * 100 =
2700 / 49 = 55% decrease
The 3 represents a whole number.
The .62 is representing 62% of a number, and the three is the whole number.
