Question

50;41 is this a percent increase or decrease? What is the percent increase or decrease

Answer 1

This is a decrease, because the new number is smaller than the original number. To find the percent decrease, set up an equation where x = the percent decrease.
50 • x = 41.
To solve, divide both sides by 50:
41/50 = 0.82
Move the decimal right 2 places:
82%.
41 is 82% of 50.
