Question

What single percentage change is equivalent to a 11% decrease followed by a 15% decrease?

Answer 1

The answer is 75.65%.

Explanation:

Since we are decreasing the percentages, we will first take 100 and subtract 11% from it, which is 89%. Now take 15% and turn it into decimal form, and we get 0.15. Then multiply 0.15 by 89 and we get 13.35. Now we have our number 13.35, we will subtract 89 from 13.35, and we get 75.65%. Therefore, the answer is 75.65%.
