Question

Decrease of 65% is the same as multiplying by what
percent?

Answer 1

35%

Explanation:

A decrease of 65% would be the same as multiplying the value by 35%.

100% - 65% = 35%

Let's use an example.

You have $150 dollars in stock and it decreases by 65%

150 - (.65*150) =

150 - 97.5 = $52.50

Now let's just multiply $150 by .35 (which is 35%)

150 * .35 = $52.50

It's the same!
