Question

If the original quantity is 100 and the new quantity is 88, what is the percentage decrease?

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, we have to know the ratio of the decrease to the original value and find the percentage of it

`\begin{gathered} \text{original}=100 \\ \text{new}=88 \\ \text{decrease}=100-88=12 \\ \text{percentage decrease}=\frac{decrease}{actual\text{ product}}*100 \\ \text{percentage decrease=}(12)/(100)*100 \\ \text{percentage decrease=0.12}*100 \\ \text{percentage decrease=12\%} \end{gathered}`
