Answer 1

To answer the question, first solve for the difference between the two number of cars. That is, 48 - 64 which is equal to -16. Divide this value by the original number of cars and multiply by 100%. 
                                   (-16 / 64) x 100% = -25%
Therefore, the percent decrease of the number of cars is 25%.
