Question

Steve decreased the number of miles he ran from 25 to 18 . By what percent did the number of miles decrease

Answer 1

Percentage decrease = 28%

Explanation:

Original distance = 25 miles

New distance = 18 Miles

Change in distance = 25 - 18

= 7 miles

Percentage decrease = change in distance / original distance × 100

= 7/25 × 100

= 0.28 × 100

= 28%

Percentage decrease = 28%
