#1.)
Original:45
New:30
Please help i don't understand how to solve and show work
hey daddy what doin
45 - 30 = 15
15/45 = 0.33333 = 33.3%
Of course! To find the percent of change, you need to calculate the difference between the original and new values, and then express that difference as a percentage of the original value.
In this case,
Original value = 45
New value = 30
To find the difference, subtract the new value from the original value: 45 - 30 = 15
Since the new value (30) is less than the original value (45), this represents a decrease.
To find the percent of change, divide the difference by the original value and then multiply by 100:
Percent of change = (Difference / Original value) * 100
Plugging in our values:
Percent of change = (15 / 45) * 100 ≈ 33.33%
Therefore, the percent of change is approximately a decrease of 33.33%.
