Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we are using the formula: [tex]\frac{|x_2-x_1|}{x_1}[/tex] * 100% where:
[tex]x_1[/tex] is the previous number of touchdowns
[tex]x_2[/tex] is the current number of touchdowns
We know that the previous number of touchdowns is 15, so [tex]x_1=15[/tex]. We also know that the current number of touchdowns is 6, so [tex]x_2=6[/tex].
Replacing the values
[tex]\frac{|6-15|}{15}[/tex] * 100%
[tex]\frac{|-9|}{15}[/tex] * 100%
[tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] * 100%
0.6 * 100% = 60%
We can conclude that the percentage decrease from 15 touchdowns to 6 touchdowns is 60%.
