I'm not sure if i did this right. The number of cable TV systems recently decreased from 12,300 to 12,150. Find the percent decrease. i subtracted 12,300-12,150 and got 150 and then i divided 150 into 12300 and got .0121 it says to round to the nearest tenth so i'm not sure what to put??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{150}{12300}=.0121=1.21%=1.2%\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1.21 % that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now times the .0121 by 100 to get 1.21

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. And now, round to the nearest tenth which is 1.2%
