okay, so what we want to do is fine the percent drop from 64 to 48, how do we do this?
Basically what we want to do is find how much percent of 64 is 48, we calculate this by taking the number 64 and dividing by 48. When we do this what do we get?

If you do 64 -20% that dose not get the answer
so then I did 25

u didnt post anything showing how u solved it, So your answer to the question would in fact be a "Direct answer" smh

Answer 13

So what we want to do is set up a ratio. Since we are finding the percent decrease from 64, lets consider that as 100%
So
64/100% = 48/x%
Now we want to find this percent of x.

Answer 14

Hey @hoodmemes, can you just report rather than initiate drama in the post? Ty

Answer 15

well sorry i was trying to help

Answer 16

Anyways, what we find this percent of x to be,
We now know what the percent is and we have to find the decrease, so we take 100% and subtract by the percent we got for x.
And we will get our percent decrease

Answer 17

ok
