There is a lot to go over here. Unfortunately it looks like you got a lot incorrect. I'll focus on two problems. Hopefully these examples below will help correct the other mistakes.

---------------------------------------------------------

Problem 7)

We have the starting value be 20 and the ending value be 11. Subtract the values: (end)-(start) = 11 - 20 = -9. The negative indicates we have a drop or decrease.

We'll focus on the positive version of this number, so 9. Divide this value over the starting amount 20 to get 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%

So going from 20 miles to 11 miles is a decrease of 45%

Answer to problem 7 is: 45%

---------------------------------------------------------

Problem 13)

An increase of 300% means we added 3 times the original amount onto the original amount.

We take 300% of 25 to get 3*25 = 75

Which is then added onto 25 to get 25+75 = 100

Answer to problem 13 is: 100
