OpenStudy (sasquat):

ll you have to do is subtract 9.78-9.69 and whatever you get from that you multiply by 100 and you have ur percentage decrease

OpenStudy (danieke):

00.9?

OpenStudy (sasquat):

You do that since 9.78 in this case is 100% so subtracting 9.69 to it and then multiplying by 100 gives u the answer

OpenStudy (sasquat):

no its 9% because you move the decimal point two places

OpenStudy (sasquat):

9.78-9.69=0.09 0.09 x 100= 9%
