A.
20%

B.
25%

C.

D.

Answer 1

No. of cars dropped from 64 to 48
No. of cars before= 64
No cars after weekend sale= 48
Percentage decrease
64−4864×100=1664×100

=161644×100=25%

Answer 2

one percent of 64 = 0.64
one houndred percent of 64 = 64
so 100 times 0.64 = 64
then for 48 cars we want
percentage times 0.64 = 48
or percentage = 48 divided by 0.64
then 48 is 75% of 64 and the decrease in percentages is 25
