Answer:
[tex]33\frac{1}{3}[/tex]%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a random fraction with numbers that make this problem easier to calculate. We can start with the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex] (1). If its numerator is decreased by 50% and its denominator is decreased by 25%(75% of it), the new fraction will be [tex]\frac{0.5}{0.75}[/tex] , which is the same as 2/3
The percent decrease from 1 to 2/3 is 33.333....% or [tex]33\frac{1}{3}[/tex]%.
You can use variables to solve this problem, but I find it easier to start with the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex] for calculation purposes.
