In a storm, 243 trees were left standing out of 300 trees in a garden. What is the percentage decrease in number of trees?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 19 percent.
Percentage = (Actual trees - remaining trees)/actual trees × 100
Required percentage = (300 - 243)/300 × 100
⇒ 57/300 × 100 = 19%
