Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Formula for Percent Decrease: [tex]\text {Percent Decrease} = \frac{\text {Decrease}}{\text {Old Price}}~*~100~\text {percent}[/tex]

------------------------------------------------

Subtract,

135 - 108 = 27

Fill into formula,

[tex]= \frac{\text {27}}{\text {135}}~*~100~\text {percent}\\= \frac{\text {1}}{\text {5}}~*~100~\text {percent}\\= 0.20~*~100~\text {percent}\\= 20~\text {percent}[/tex]

------------------------------------------------

Hence, the percent decrease is 20%!

Between June and July, sales at the store decreased by 20%.

The sales reduced from 135 copies in June to 108 copies in July.

In order to find the percent decrease, first find the absolute decrease:

= June sales - July sales

= 135 - 108

= 27 copies

The percentage decrease is:

= Absolute decrease / June sales x 100%

= 27 / 135 x 100%

= 20%

In conclusion, the percent decrease in sales was 20%.
