Question

Find the percent of decrease if 110 is decreased to 88

Answer 1

Decrease = 110 - 88 = 22.  22 as a percentage of 110 =  22/110 * 100 = 20%

Answer 2

The number decreases 20% of a number 110 if 110 is decreased to 88.

Explanation:

Number=110

After decreasing , number=88

Decrease in number =110-88

Decrease in number =22

By simplification

To find the percent of decrease

Percent of decrease=
`(Decrease\; value )/(Initial \;value) * 100`

Percent of decrease=
`(22)/(110) * 100`

Percent of decrease= 20 %

Hence, the number decreases 20% of a number 110 if 110 is decreased to 88.
