Question

Find the percent decrease. Round to the nearest percent.


From 90°F to 55°F

Answer 1

39% decrease

Explanation:

To find the decrease, subtract 55 from 90

90 - 55 = 35

Divide 35 by the original temperature -

35/90 = 0.388

Multiply 0.388 by 100 to find the percent -

38.8%

Round to the nearest percent -

39%
