The decrease is (95-68) = 27 .

As a fraction, the decrease is 27/95 of the original amount.

To change any fraction to a decimal, do the division:

(27) divided by (95) = 0.2842...

To change any decimal to a percentage, move the

decimal point two places that ==> way:

0.2842... = 28.42... %Answer:

\qquad☀️ At first we need to find out the difference between 95 and 68.


\qquad
\sf \longrightarrow 68 -95 \\


\qquad
\sf \longrightarrow -27


\qquad☀️ Now, divide the number by "the starting number.


\qquad
\sf \longrightarrow (-27 )/(97)


\qquad
\sf \longrightarrow -0.2842


\qquad☀️ And finally, we have to multiply the result by 100 to get it in terms of percent.


\qquad
\sf \longrightarrow -0.2842 * 100


\qquad
\red{\bf \longrightarrow -28.42℅}
