Question

Find the percent of change 60 cars to 24 cars

Answer 1

The numerical change is 60 - 24 = 36. There are 36 fewer cars.

To find the percent change, you divide that 36 by the starting number of cars

36 ÷ 60 = 0.6

and then convert the decimal to a percent.

0.6 = 60%

There are 60% fewer cars.
