(20.703%) you do this by simply finding the difference between the given numbers then getting the initial number (the biggest number for this question which is 179000) and dividing it by the calculated difference (which should be $37,000 just do 179000 - 142000 = 37000) which will get you 4.83 now put 100 divided by 4.83 and you will get 20.703% for your final answer (remember 100 is always your base number for division problems) that is all for this method practice it a little bit and it will get easier hope it helped you ^-^

In this case, you have to subtract $179,000 - $142,000= $37,000 Now we divide the difference (result from subtracting) which is $37,000 by the original value of $179,000. 37000/179000 = 0.20670391 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage =20.670391% you can round this to 21%

The first answer is wrong intuitively. (2% is WAY too low.)

The answer is 20.67%

37,000 / 179,000 = .20670
