During a thunderstorm, the outdoor temperature went from 88°F to 77°F. Find the percent of decrease?
Explanation
To find the percent decrease:
Original temperature = 88°F
New temperature = 77°F
Decrease = 88 - 77 = 11°F
Percent decrease = (Decrease / Original temperature) × 100
= (11 / 88) × 100
= 12.5%
