​Percent Decrease

​

A percent decrease occurs when the new amount is less than the

original amount. An example of a percent decrease is the amount water

evaporates over time. Water evaporates at different rates, depending

on the size and shape of the container it is in and the air temperature.

​

A science class is conducting an experiment to determine how

fast water evaporates. They fill 4 differently shaped containers

with water and measure the level once at the beginning of the

experiment and once at the end. Use the formula shown to

complete the table.
