Question

State whether the change is increasing or decreasing. Round your percent of change to the nearest integer percent. previously: 110 minutes currently: 82

Answer 1

The percent of change is computed as follows:

`\frac{\text{current value - previous value}}{\text{previous value}}\cdot100`

Replacing with data:

`(82-110)/(110)\cdot100=-(28)/(110)\cdot100=-25\text{ \%}`

The change is decreasing because the percent of change is negative
