Steve and his friends measured a snow pile; it was 7 feet tall. The next day, the
snow pile was only 6.5 feet tall. What was the percent of decrease in the snow
pile? Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The percentage decrease is 7.14%

First measurement = 7 feet

Second measurement = 6.5 feet

Difference in measurement = 7 feet - 6.5 feet = 0.5 feet

Percentage decrease = Difference in measurement/ First measurement × 100

= (0.5/7.0) × 100

= 7.14%

The percentage decrease is 7.14%
