OpenStudy (anonymous):
Actually you don't even have to calculate it.
Only 1 answer makes sense.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

100% decrease would take it to zero. not 32
OpenStudy (anonymous):
O.o
i hate math
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This isn't even math. Just common sense. No calculating involved.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
From 320 to 32 is a pretty big decrease, but not quite 100%. Can you see that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, It's pretty obvious that a 10% decrease would drop it 32% Because 10% of 320 is 32. So how many times if you subtracted 32 from 320 would it take you to get to the final answer of 32.
that amount of times multiplied by 10%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then you go down to 10% what is the total loss?
