Percentage x Base = Amount
You need the percentage of decrease...it's unknown, Let it = X.
Your base amount is $2323.14.
And your Amount in dollars after the decrease is $437.10.
sooooo,
2323.14(x) = 437.10
Divide both sides by the coefficient of X. This leaves you with....
0.18815052041633306645316253002402
To change this to a percentage just multiply by 100.
18.815052041633306645316253002402%
or approximatly
18.82% |
he asked for the percent
decrease.... this is not the correct answer. 1-18.82% is the correct answer as blaze06 said, I believe.
