Question 6 • ELPGEQ1 M/J Math 6 - 1205010 HCPS v24

A count went from 605 to 203. What was the approximate percent decrease? Round the numbers to find an estimate of the percent decrease.

Answer
A
The percent decrease was approximately 25%.
B
The percent decrease was approximately 33%.
C
The percent decrease was approximately 50%.
D
The percent decrease was approximately 66%.

Explanation

Round 605 to 600 and 203 to 200. The decrease is about 600 − 200 = 400, and 400 ÷ 600 = 2/3, or about 66%. So the percent decrease was approximately 66%.
