Answer:
14.583333% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the difference
24000-20500 =3500
Then divide by the original amount
3500/24000 =.14583333
Change to a percent
14.6%
Use the ol’ reliable: [tex]\frac{new(value)-old(value)}{old(value)}*100[/tex]
In this case: [tex]\frac{20500-24000}{24000}*100=-14.6[/tex]
It’s a 14.6% decrease.
