How to solve


Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  38.1% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change is found from ...

  % change = (change)/(original amount) × 100%

  = (new value - original amount)/(original amount) × 100%

  = (13 -21)/21 × 100% = -8/21 × 100% ≈ -38.1%

Frazer's speed decreased by 38.1% during the second part.
