Question

A decrease of 99% in 3897

Answer 1

Decrease = 38.97

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Amount = 3897

Percentage decrease = 99%

First of all, we would determine the percentage of the original number.

Percent decrease = 99/100 * 3897

Percent decrease = 0.99 * 3897

Percent decrease = 3858.03

Next, we find the decrease;

Decrease = amount - percent decrease

Decrease = 3897 - 3858.03

Decrease = 38.97
