Find the percent of decrease. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

from 23 cm to 17 cm
a.
26.1% decrease
c.
383.3% decrease
b.
135.3% decrease
d.
35.3% decrease

Answer 1

Okay, to find the percent of decrease, first you need *the decrease* :P

By how many cm did it decrease (from 23 to 17) ?

Answer 2

6..

Answer 3

That's right :)
Now, 6 is the decrease... the percent of decrease would be 6 divided by the original amount (27)... and convert it to percent....
so what's 6/27?

Answer 4

0.222222 or 4.5 ion kno

Answer 5

Hang on...
