A popular snack food reduced the amount of sodium in one serving from 700 milligrams to 630 milligrams. What is the percent decrease in the amount of sodium in this snack?

10%?

yes

To find the percent decrease in the amount of sodium, you need to calculate the difference between the initial amount and the final amount, and then express that difference as a percentage of the initial amount.

The initial amount of sodium was 700 milligrams, and the final amount is 630 milligrams. To find the decrease, subtract the final amount from the initial amount: 700 - 630 = 70.

Next, divide the decrease by the initial amount (70 ÷ 700 = 0.1). This decimal value represents the fraction of the initial amount that has been decreased.

Finally, convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100: 0.1 × 100 = 10.

Therefore, the percent decrease in the amount of sodium in this snack is 10%.
