Question

Dylan opened a credit card account with $575.00 of available credit. Now that he has made some purchases, Dylan's account only has $391.00 of available credit. What is the percentage decrease of the amount of available credit in Dylan's account?

Answer 1

The percentage decrease of the amount of available credit in Dylan account is %147.

1. You do 570 ÷ 391 which is 1.47

2. To get the percentage you do 1.47 × 100 which gets you %147

Answer 2

First, you need to find out how much he spent. You can do this by subtracting.
575-391= 184
Then, you divide 184 (or the amount Dylan spent) by 575 (the amount he started of with.
184/575= 0.32
Therefore the answer is 32%
