Answer 7

Example:

Sam had 500 apples, but he ate some apples,
and now Sam has only 350 apples left.

Solution:

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 500-350=150 }\)
(that is the amount of apples Sam ate, or alternatively
it is the amount by which the number decreased)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle {\rm decrease~proportion}=\frac{500-150}{500}=\frac{35}{50} =0.7 }\)

(Proportion of decrease in apples
to the initial amount of apples)

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle {\text %}~{\rm decrease~proportion}=0.7 \times 100=70{\text{%}} }\)
