Answer:
14.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
1) you have many different formulas for % change the one i'm using is :
n[tex]\frac{n-o}{o} =\frac{-x}{100\\}[/tex]
n= new quantity
o=old quantity
-x= % change(since the quantity decreases the numerator will be negative)
so
[tex]\frac{30-35}{35} =\frac{-x}{100}[/tex]
30-35=-5
[tex]\frac{-5}{35} =\frac{-x}{100}[/tex]
cross multiply:
-500=-35x
divide on both sides:
14.285=x
hope this helps!
