-FAN AND MEDAL!!-


The science club sold 35 T-shirts last week and 28 T-shirts this week. what is the percentage of decrease in the number of T-shirts sold?

1.20%

2. 25%

3. 80%

4. 75%

Answer 1

The question is asking you to find the percent change from 35 to 28.
This can be represented as a proportion

28/35

28/35 = 80 %

But you need to find out the decreased change

35-28 = 7

7/35 = 20 %

Does that make sense?

Answer 2

yes indeed thank you!
