Answer 1

Try it yourself, I'll let you know if you get it correct.

Answer 2

Ok! Thanks! Let me see...

0.6 %

Answer 3

You're close. You need to take the answer you get out of the formula (New amount-Old amount)/(Old amount) and multiply by 100 to get your percentage

Answer 4

Want the answer? Or do you want one more shot at it?

Answer 5

I will take one more shot!

60%

Answer 6

The answer is 66% I'm not exactly sure where you are getting 60% from. Mind showing me your work? I can help d-(^_^)z

Answer 7

Ok! I want to thank you for helping me so much! I really really appreciate it!

250-150=100
100/150= 0.6 then the six keeps going until there is no more room on the calculator...

Answer 8

Exactly! Nicely done. I'd simplify a decimal like that (Called a repeating decimal) to two or three places. So 66%, or 66.6% Both are correct :)

Answer 9

Ohh ok! Thank you so much!
