Q. Easy Cooking is a cooking supply company. Last year, the company sold a total of 17,09017,090 ovens. This year, they sold 8,5458,545 ovens. What is the percent of decrease in the annual sales of ovens?\newline____%\_\_\_\_\%
  1. Calculate Decrease in Sales: Calculate the decrease in sales from last year to this year.\newlineDecrease = Last year's sales - This year's sales\newlineDecrease = 17,090−8,54517,090 - 8,545\newlineDecrease = 8,5458,545
  2. Calculate Percentage Decrease: Calculate the percentage decrease based on last year's sales.\newlinePercentage decrease = (Decrease/Last year’s sales)×100%(\text{Decrease} / \text{Last year's sales}) \times 100\%\newlinePercentage decrease = (8,545/17,090)×100%(8,545 / 17,090) \times 100\%\newlinePercentage decrease = 0.5×100%0.5 \times 100\%\newlinePercentage decrease = 50%50\%
