Question

Find the percent of change from 120 bananas to 40 bananas.

Answer 1

67% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given problem:

Initial number of bananas = 120

Final number of bananas = 40

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percent Change=}\frac{Final\text{ Value-Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}*100 \\ =(40-120)/(120)*100 \\ =-(80)/(120)*100 \\ =-0.667*100 \\ =-66.7\% \\ \approx-67\% \end{gathered}`

Since we have a negative value, we have a 67% decrease.
