Answer:
9.09%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find percent decrease you have to use this equation:
[tex]Percent Decrease = \frac{Initial -New}{Initial} x 100[/tex]
Initial = 49.5
New = 45
Plug in and solve:
[tex]PD = \frac{49.5-45}{49.5} x 100\\\\PD = \frac{4.5}{49.5} x 100 \\\\PD = 0.0909 x 100\\\\PD = 9.09[/tex]
The percent decrease is 9.09%
Hope this helps!!
