Answer 7

I think you need to calculate the number \[\frac{1.2-2}{2}\]to get your percentage. Just looking at it, this should be less than 50%.

Answer 9

How did you end up getting 66.7%?

Answer 10

Step 1: Divide the New Value by the Old Value (you will get a decimal number)
Step 2: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign)
Step 3: Subtract 100% from that
so 2/1.2*100-100

Answer 11

That should give you the same thing that I had.

Answer 12

(2-1.2)/2 * 100%

\[\frac{1.2 - 2}{2} \cdot 100 \% = x\]There we go.
