Lawson Guzman · Answer 1

69,955 is 85% of 82,300

so:

100-85=15%

the percent of decrease is 15

there is another solution:

82,300 - 69,955 = 12,345

12,345 is 15% of 82,300

Hinton · Answer 2

82.300 * x percent = 69.955

To solve this equation you have to transpose it:

x percent = 69.955/82.300 = 0,85 = 85%

That's the percentage of 69.955 of 82.300.

So the last step is to subtract it from 100%:

100% - 85% = 15 % - - > percent of decrease
