PLEASE HELP

James had a collection of 500 Matchbox cars at the beginning of the summer.


After the summer, James had traded some of his Matchbox cars and now he has only 485 Matchbox cars.


What is the percent decrease of his Matchbox car collection?

500 - 485 = 15
1% = 5 (b/c 5 x 100 = 500)
check: 5 x 3 = 15

Lost 3%

Kinda a bad explanation but yea
