Question

Find the percent change from 600 to 408. Tell whether it is a percent increase or decrease. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is

$\frac{orig-new}{orig}*100$

For us this would be

$\frac{600-408}{600}*100$

which is

$\frac{192}{600}*100$

which is equal to 32%

Since we are decreasing from 600 to 408, it is a decrease.
