Question

the number of girls on the school's basketball team decreased by 20% this year. if there were 25 girls on the team last year. how many girls are on the team this year

Answer 1

Explanation:

okay so to get 10% of 20 you just move the decimal to the right one so 25.0 would become 2.5 then to find 20% of that you multiply by 2 so 2.5 x 2 = 5 so that means the team lost 5 girls. 25-5=20 therefor there are 20 players on the team this year
