Question

Find the percent decrease, Round to the nearest percent: From 90 points to 45 points.

Answer 1

The decrease in percent is 50 %

Explanation:

Initial point is 90 while the final point is 45. We need to find the percent decrease. Percent change is given by :

`\% =\frac{\text{change}}{\text{original amount}}* 100`

`\% =(90-45)/(90)* 100`

`\%=50\%`

So, the percent decrease is 50 percent. Hence, this is the required solution.
