Question

The circulation of a newsletter decreased from 5300 to 3630. Find the percent of decrease in circulation to the nearest percent

Answer 1

32%

Explanation:

If your choices are 146%, 46%, 32%, or 7% like my problem all you need to do is subtract

5300-3630= 1670

1670/5300=0.3150

You round the 1 into 2 because the you need a 5 or higher number to round up so it would go from .315 to .32 move the decimal two places to the right

remove the decimal and replace it by a percent sign.
