Solve: 12 dogs decreased by 25% step by step pls.

first turn 25% into a decimal so it's easier to work with, the decimal for 25% is 0.25

then multiply the number by the decimal

12x0.25=3

then subtract your answer (3) from your starting number

12-3=9

12 dogs decreased by 25% leaves you with 9 dogs left.

if you are increasing, divide instead of multiply
