I believe the answer is 7% but it says round to the nearest tenth of a percent so I am not sure if it is a decimal answer or not. Can someone help me out please?

Sagot :

Answer:   6.1% decrease

Note: It appears that your teacher doesn't want you to type in the percent sign, as that's already covered for you.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The salary decreased by 51500-48355 = 3145

Divide this over the initial salary to get 3145/51500 = 0.0611 which is approximate.

This converts to the percentage 6.11% and that rounds to 6.1%

----------------

As an alternative, you can use the formula method below

A = old value = 51500

B = new value = 48355

C = percent change when going from A to B

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (48355-51500)/51500 ] * 100%

C = (-3145/51500)*100%

C = -0.0611*100%

C = -6.11%

C = -6.1%

The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.
