1. 30% decrease

2. 33 1/3% increase

Step by step explanation:

Question 1.

$50 to $35 is a decrease, because 35 is smaller than 50.

(50-35)/50 * 100%

= 15/50 * 100%

= 30%

Ans: 30% decrease


Question 2.

150 days to 200 days is an increase because 200 is large than 150.

(200-150)/150 * 100%

= 50/150 * 100%

= 1/3 * 100%

= 33 1/3% or 100/3%

Ans: 33 1/3% increase
