There were 1150 pounds of flour in the grain store. After most of the flour was sold, there were 230 pounds left. What was the percentage decrease of the grain store’s flour?

Answer:

  80% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is found from ...

  percent change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = (230/1150 -1) × 100%

  = -0.8 × 100%

  = -80% . . . . . a negative change is a decrease

The store's flour quantity decreased by 80%.
