    Decrease = (1,200 − 900) ÷ 1,200 × 100 = 300/1,200 × 100 = 25%.

  5. A bar chart shows product returns: Jan = 40, Feb = 55, Mar = 35, Apr = 50. What is the mean number of returns?

    Answer: 45

    Mean = (40 + 55 + 35 + 50) ÷ 4 = 180 ÷ 4 = 45.

  6. A contractor quotes $45 per square foot. A room measures 14 ft × 12 ft. What is the total cost?
