Answer 2

Answer:

The distance from 68 miles to 42.5 miles decrease .

The Percentage of change is 37.5% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage\ change = \frac{Change\ in\ value\times 100}{Initial\ value}$

Where

Change in value = |Final value - Initial value|

As given

68 miles to 42.5 miles .

Thus the distance decrease .

Final value = 42.5 miles

Initial value = 68

Change in value = |42.5 - 68|

Change in value = |-25.5|

Change in value = 25.5

Putting all values in the formula

$Percentage\ change = \frac{25.5\times 100}{68}$

$Percentage\ change = \frac{25500}{68\times 10}$

$Percentage\ change = \frac{25500}{680}$

Percentage change = 37.5 %

Therefore the Percentage of change is 37.5% .
