Answer : The percent decrease in number of calories consumed is, 18.18 %
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that:
Calories consumed by a body builder in yesterday = 4400 calories
Calories consumed by a body builder in today = 3600 calories
Now we have to determine the percent decrease in number of calories consumed.
[tex]\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{\text{Calories consumed in yesterday}-\text{Calories consumed in today}}{\text{Calories consumed in yesterday}}\times 100[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
[tex]\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{(4400-3600)cal}{4400cal}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{800cal}{4400cal}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent decrease}=18.18\%[/tex]
Therefore, the percent decrease in number of calories consumed is, 18.18 %
