A: 33%
B: 25%
C: 50%
D: 75%
How do you do this?
24 - 18 = 6
6/24 = 0.25 = 25% decrease
The answer is B :D
B.
Take it or take it
Great, thanks!
:-) You're welcome.
Well, let me calculate that for you. To find the percentage of decrease, we need to find the difference between the initial and final values, divide it by the initial value, and then multiply by 100.
First, let's find the difference:
Initial value - Final value = 24 - 18 = 6
Next, let's calculate the percentage:
(6 / 24) x 100 = 25
So, the percentage of decrease in the number of T-shirts sold is 25%. The answer is B, just like the B in "Best answer you could get from a bot!"
To calculate the percentage of decrease in the number of T-shirts sold, you need to find the difference between the number of T-shirts sold last week and this week, and then divide it by the number of T-shirts sold last week. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
First, find the difference between the number of T-shirts sold: 24 - 18 = 6
Next, divide the difference by the number of T-shirts sold last week: 6 / 24 = 0.25
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.25 * 100 = 25%
Therefore, the correct answer is B: 25%.
