Last year my homeroom class
had 25 students. This year I only
have 22 students. What is the
percent decrease in homeroom
students?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is (new minus original)/ original

New = 22

Original = 25

22 - 25 = -3

-3 / 25 = -.12, or -12 percent. The percent decrease was 12 percent because the negative sign (-) indicates a decrease.
