At the beginning of a baking session, there were 2.26 kilograms of flour in the bag. By the end of the baking session, there was 0.98 kilogram of flour in the bag. What is the percent of decrease in the amount of flour? Round the percent to the nearest tenth if necessary?

The answer is not 32 or 43.4.

56.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate percent decrease, you first subtract the original number with the final number.

2.26 - 0.98 = 1.28

Then, you divide your answer by the original number.

1.28/2.26 = 0.56637168141

Finally, you multiply your answer by 100 and round as necessary.

0.56637168141 x 100 = 56.637168141

(x, y)→(x − 8, y − 7)
