Jane moved from a house with 64 square feet of closet space to an apartment with 38.4 square feet of closet space. What is the percentage decrease of Jane's closet space?

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

I like us to understand that's:

Percentage Decrease is a reduction of a given part out of a total of hundred.

Actual Square Feet of Jane's Closet:

= 64 Square Feet

Recent Square feet of Jane's new Closet:

= 38.4 Square Feet

Decrease in Square feet from both Square Feet:

= 64 - 38.4

= 25.6 Square Feet.

Therefore:

Percentage Decrease is expressed as:

= Decrease / Actual * 100

= 25.6 / 64 * 100

= 2560 / 64

= 40 %

It therefore means that the percentage decrease of Jane's closet space is 40%

Maths is fun! Let's keep learning

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
