The price of a gallon of unleaded gas has dropped to 2.84 today. Yesterday's price was 2.89. Find the percentage decrease. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Sagot :

Answer: Answer: 2.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = initial price - final price

% decrease = [ (initial price - final price)  / initial price ] *100

% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 =  2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1
