Answer:
The difference is 21.21%
work shown below
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to first find the difference between both.
85-60=25
Now, we have to find 25% of 85
We don't have to use the formula, we can do this in our brain, like this -
We can see that 25% of 80 = 20, since 25 = 1/4, and 1/4 of 80 = 20, then, there is the 5 part left, how do we find that??? well, 25% of 5 = 1.25, since 1.25x5=5,
So hence, our answer is 21.25
Hi! 29.4118 (decrease) is your answer. My work's below!

Here's a formula for percentages I've used...
(Old # - New # ) /Old # x 100
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In this case, the old number is 85, and the new number (today's pizza number) is 60.
(85 - 60) / 85 x 100 =
(85 - 60 = 25)
25 / 85 = 0.29411764705
0.29411764705 x 100 = 29.411764705
Now, round it to the nearest hundredth.
29.4118 (decrease)
