Question

188 to 42 what is the percent change

Answer 1

Explanation:

so we are gonna have a percent decrease because it went from 188 to 42

decrease = (original number - new number) / (original number ) * 100

= (188 - 42) / (188) * 100

= (146 / 188) * 100

= 0.7766 * 100

= 77.66% decrease....not sure if u need ur answer rounded to the nearest percent or not....if so, its a 78% decrease
