Question

There were 943 tornadoes in 2013 and 897 in 2014. what% decrease was that using 2 decimal places?

Answer 1

decrease in tornadoes = 943-897 = 46

% decrease in tornadoes = (decrease in tornadoes) / (initial amount of tornadoes) x 100%

`\begin{gathered} (46)/(943)\text{ }*\text{ 100 = }(460)/(943)\text{ = 4.87805} \\ \approx\text{ 4.88 ( 2 decimal places )} \end{gathered}`
