This would be a lot easier to read if you'd used appropriate capitalization and punctuation.
Rounded to the nearest whole percent, your answer of 10% is correct.
If I am not rounding would the answer then be 9.52%
Yes. 9.52%
thank you
You're welcome.
To calculate the percent decrease in the cost of food from 2003 to 2004, you would divide the difference in costs by the starting cost and multiply by 100. Here's how:
Step 1: Calculate the difference in costs.
Difference = Ending cost - Starting cost
In this case:
Difference = $9500 - $10500 = -$1000
Step 2: Divide the difference by the starting cost.
Percent Decrease = (Difference / Starting cost) * 100
In this case:
Percent Decrease = (-$1000 / $10500) * 100
Step 3: Calculate the final result.
Percent Decrease = -9.52%
Therefore, the percent decrease in the cost of food from 2003 to 2004 is approximately 9.52%.
