Answer:
The single percentage change is 27.46%
Explanation:
Suppose x is the initial number. It will be decreased by 7%.
(7/100)x=0.07x
x - 0.07x = 0.93x
This last number will be decreased by 22%.
0.93x*(22/100)=0.2046x
0.93x-0.2046x=0.7254x
The last number is 72.54% of the initial number. This is equivalent to a single decrease of:
100% - 72.54% = 27.46%
The single percentage change is 27.46%
