Question

What is the percent of change?

4/5 to 3/5

Increase or Decrease?

Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

4/5 is larger than 3/5, if the amount is getting smaller it is a decrease.
Because it is a decrease, you must subtract the orginal number from the new number and divide by the orginal. 4/5-3/5=1/5 1/5÷4/5= 1/4
1/4=.25
The percent of change is 25%

Answer 2

Yes! The percent decrease is 25%. -25%
