To find the percent decrease in Shivani's average, we need to calculate the decrease in miles per week and then express it as a percentage of the original average.

The decrease in average miles per week is 3.2 - 2.8 = <<3.2-2.8=0.4>>0.4 miles per week.
To express this decrease as a percentage of the original average, we divide the decrease by the original average and multiply by 100: (0.4/3.2) * 100% = 12.5%.

Therefore, Shivani's average has decreased by 12.5%.

If there were 10 members on the squad with the old coach, and the new coach decreased the squad size by 10%, then 10% of 10 members is (10/100) * 10 = <<(10/100)*10=1>>1 member.

Therefore, there are 10 - 1 = <<10-1=9>>9 members on the squad now.

Apologies for the incorrect response.

If there were 10 members on the squad with the old coach and there is now 10% fewer members, we need to calculate 10% of 10 and subtract it from 10.

10% of 10 is (10/100) * 10 = 1.

Therefore, there are 10 - 1 = 9 members on the squad now.

If Samuel bought 5 apples a few weeks ago, and today he bought 40% fewer apples, we need to calculate 40% of 5 apples.

40% of 5 apples is (40/100) * 5 = 2 apples.

Therefore, Samuel bought 5 - 2 = 3 apples today.
