a store sold 650 bicycles last year.this year they sold 572 bicycles. what is the percent decrease of the number of bicycles from last year to this year

Sagot :

It is 12%. You divide the difference by the original number. So (650-572)/650. You get 0.12 which is 12%.
650-572=78
78/650=0.12
0.12=12%
The percent decrease is 12%.
