find the percent of decrease from 62 trees to 31 trees. round the percent to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the amount of decrease
$62 - 31=31$
Step2: Use percent - decrease formula
Percent decrease = $\frac{\text{Amount of decrease}}{\text{Original amount}}\times100%$ Percent decrease = $\frac{31}{62}\times100%$
Step3: Calculate the percentage
$\frac{31}{62}\times100% = 0.5\times100%=50%$
Answer:
50%
