Question

The percentage decrease per litre in the avarage diesel price between 12.91 and 10.33?

Answer 1

19.98% decrease

Explanation:

percent change = (new amount - old amount)/(old amount) × 100%

percent change = (10.33 - 12.91)/(12.91) × 100%

percent change = -2.58/12.91 × 100%

percent change = -19.98%

Since the percent change is negative, it is a percent decrease.
