Question

Jane moved from a house with 43 square feet of closet space to an apartment with 27.95 square feet of closet space. What is the percentage decrease of Jane's closet space?

Answer 1

If we apply a simple rule of 3

We have that

43 square feet of closet -------------------100%

27.95 square feet of closet -------------------x %

Resolving (27.95*100/43) =65%

the percentage decrease of Jane's closet space is (100%-65%)=35%
