Officer Flores wrote 25 tickets for traffic violations last week, but only 18 tickets this week. What is the percent change?

Answer 1

28%

Explanation:

tickets for last week 25

tickets for this week 18

difference in tickets 7

Therefore the percent change = difference in tickets / tickets for last week * 100

= 7 / 25 *100 = 28%
