Answer:

  3.  62.5% decrease

  4.  26.2% decrease

  5.  13.2% decrease

Explanation:

A percentage change is calculated from ...

  percent change = ((new value) - (old value))/(old value) × 100%

When it is negative, the change is a decrease.

__

3. (24 -64)/64 × 100% = -40/64 × 100% = -62.5%, a 62.5% decrease

__

4. (4.8 -6.5)/6.5 × 100% = -1.7/6.5 × 100% ≈ -26.2%, a 26.2% decrease

__

5. (1.12 -1.29)/1.29 × 100% = -0.17/1.29 × 100% ≈ -13.2%, a 13.2% decrease
