What is the percent decrease when the balance in a bank account goes from $300 to $60? 

Solution:

Given, the balance in a bank decreases from $300 to $60.

We have to find the percent decrease.

Decrease in balance = 300 - 60

Percentage decrease = (decrease in balance/original balance)100

= (240/300)(100)

= 240/3

= 80%

Therefore, the decrease percent is 80%.

What is the percent decrease when the balance in a bank account goes from $300 to $60? 

Summary:
