Question

Can someone please tell me how to figure this out please and thank you :)

Answer 1

Answer: B) 25% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

`(New - Original)/(Original)`

Since it dropped FROM 64 TO 48, then 64 is the Original value and 48 is the New value.

`(48 - 64)/(64)` =
`(-14)/(64)` =
`(-1)/(4)` = -0.25

Convert the decimal into percent by moving the decimal 2 places to the right and adding the percent sign (%) = -25%

Note: The negative sign represents "decrease"
