Last year Jacob made $4,500 at his summer job. This year he only made
$2,921. What is the percent decrease?
A 40%
B 25%
C 65%
D 35%
The percent decrease can be calculated as follows:
Percent decrease = (Previous year's value - Current year's value)/Previous year's value x 100%
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Percent decrease = (4500 - 2921)/4500 x 100%
Percent decrease = 1579/4500 x 100%
Percent decrease = 0.35 x 100%
Percent decrease = 35%
Therefore, the answer is D) 35%.
