PLEASE HELP! 7TH GRADE MATH QUESTION!?
You put the amount of the change over the original amount then multiply it by 100 to make it a percent.
Like #2, 120 - 86 = 34 so it changed (increased) 34.
34/86 鈥?100 = 39.5% increase
just divide the 10 by 18 to get .55 which is equivalent to 55% and since the first number was higher it decreased 55%.
so answers are:
decreased 55%
increased 71%
increased 50%
decreased 38%
