Given:
688 qt to 172 qt.
Find the percent of change.
Solution:
In order to determine the percent of change, we simply need to subtract 172qt to 688 qt, then divide the difference by 688qt.
= 688qt - 172 qt
= 516qt
= 516 qt/688qt
= 0.75
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.75)(100)
= 75%
Final answer:
The percent of change is 75%.
