On the first math exam, 16 students received an A grade. On the second math exam,
12 students received an A grade. What percentage decrease is that?

A 75% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

You set up a ratio table.

16 is 100%

12 is with an unknown percent so classified as x, since your cross multiplying, your multiplying 16 with x and 12 with 100.

You get 16x/16 = 1200/16

The two 16 cross each other out and your left with x so x is equal to 75

Thus 75%

 A 75 decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The person above me is correct.

the answer will be the last one

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
