Question

the percentage of a Technology stock was $9.80 yesterday. today the price fell the $9.71. find the percentage decrease. round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.​

Answer 1

`\text{Yesterday} = \$9.80`

`\text{Today} = \$9.71`

`\% \ \text{Increase} = ((9.71 - 9.80) / 9.80) * 100\%`

`= (-0.09/9.80) * 100%`

`\thickapprox -0.0092 * 100%`

`\thickapprox -0.92\%`

`\thickapprox \bold{-0.9 \%}`
`\bold{to \ the \ nearest \ tenth.}`
