Bob took 30 minuites to walk a mile last week yesterday he was able to walk a mile in 24 mins what is the percent change?
To calculate the percent change:
- First, find the difference between the two numbers:
- 30 minutes - 24 minutes = 6 minutes
- Next, divide the difference by the original number and multiply by 100:
- (6 / 30) x 100 = 20
- Finally, label the result as either an increase or decrease:
- Since Bob was able to walk a mile faster yesterday, it's an decrease of 20%.
Therefore, the percent change is a decrease of 20%.
