Question

What is the percent decrease from 60 to 39?

Answer 1

40%?

Answer 2

65 i think

Answer 3

60 - x% of 60= 39

Answer 4

U all wrong!
The percent decrease we are going to use is "x"
If something decreases by 30%, then you are actually multiplying the number by 70%, which is 100% - 30% = 70%.
Therefore:

60 (1 - x) = 39
60 - 60x = 39
-60x = -21
x = 0.35 or 35%

The percent decreased 35% from 60 to 39

Answer 5

60-(x/100)*60=39
60(1-x/100)=39
solve for x
