Answer: Percent ≈ 14.8571
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the amount of decrease from 875 to 745 by subtracting the final value from the initial value, like this:
875 - 745 = 130
To calculate the percent of any number, you multiply the value (n) by the percent (p) and then divide the product by 100 to get the answer, like this:
(n × p) / 100 = Answer
the initial value (n) is 875 and that the answer (amount of decrease) is 130 to get the final value of 745. Therefore, we fill in what we know in the equation above to get the following equation:
(875 × p) / 100 = 130
Next, solve the equation above for percent (p) by first multiplying each side by 100 and then dividing both sides by 875 to get percent (p):
(875 × p) / 100 = 130
((875 × p) / 100) × 100 = 130 × 100
875p = 13000
875p / 875 = 13000 / 875
p = 14.8571428571429
Percent ≈ 14.8571
