A school's enrollment decreased from 3000 to 2250 students. what is the percent of decrease

Work Shown:

A = old value = 3000

B = new value = 2250

C = percent change

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (2250-3000)/3000 ] * 100%

C = (-750/3000) * 100%

C = -0.25*100%

C = -25%

Since C is negative, we have a 25% percent decrease.

Another indication we have a percent decrease is that B < A.

answer: ask

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
