One share of a stock costs $80 one day and $75 the next. What is the percent decrease? Enter the number only. Do not enter the % sign.

Respuesta :

6.25

-

the formula for finding percentage decrease would be:

[(start value - final value)/start value] · 100.

in this case, it would be 5/80 · 100.

5 ÷ 80= 0.0625 · 100= 6.25%.

sorry if this doesnt make sense, but hopefully you understand it !! (i also attacted scrap paper just in case)
