Question

At Joy's Toy Store, their most popular toy sold is a scooter. Last summer, the toy store sold 25 scooters. This summer, the store sold 24 scooters. What is the percent change in the number of scooters sold from last summer to this summer?

Answer 1

The change is 24 − 25 = −1.
Percent change = (−1 / 25) × 100% = −4%.

So it's a 4% decrease.
