Question

The last time it placed an order for ingredients, Sweet Treats Bakery ordered 9,390 kilograms of sugar. This time, the bakery is ordering 7,512 kilograms. What is the percent of decrease in the size of the sugar order?

Answer 1

Answer:A decrease of 20%.

First we must subtract out new total from our old total.

9390 - 7512 is 1878. This means that there is a difference of 1878. Next we must divided both 7512 and 1878 into 9390.

7512/9390 is 0.8 & 1878/9390 is 0.2

As a percentage that is 80% and 20%.

This means that the new amount of sugar only makes up 80% of the old amount. That means that there was a decrease of 20% of kilograms of sugar.

I hope this helped & Good Luck <3 !!!
