The number of cars at a dealership dropped from 64 to 48 after a weekend sale. What is the percent of decrease in the number of cars?
Question 4 options:
20%
25%
33%
75%
The percent of decrease in the number of cars can be calculated by finding the difference between the initial number of cars and the final number of cars, dividing that by the initial number of cars, and then multiplying by 100.
Percent Decrease = ((Initial Number - Final Number)/Initial Number) * 100
Percent Decrease = ((64 - 48)/64) * 100
Percent Decrease = (16/64) * 100
Percent Decrease = 0.25 * 100
Percent Decrease = 25%
Therefore, the percent of decrease in the number of cars is 25%.
