Question

Pleeeaaaasseeeee help me!!!

determine the percent of change. round to the nearest whole percent if necessary. original: 250 new: 100

Answer 1

going from new to original would be times 2.5

from original to new would be time 0.4

Explanation:

new to original is the 250/100

original to new is 100/250

Answer 2

-60%

Explanation:

First, find the difference

250 - 100 = 150

Then divide the decrease by the original number

150/250 = 0.6

And to convert this to a percentage all you have to do is multiply it by 100

0.6(100) = 60

The percent of change is -60% which is a decrease since it's negative
