enter the percent change in the number of scooters sold from last summer to this summer.

Explanation:

Step1: Find Amount of Decrease

Subtract this summer's sales from last summer's: \( 25 - 24 = 1 \).

Step2: Apply Percent Change Formula

Use \( \text{Percent Change} = \frac{\text{Amount Decrease}}{\text{Original Amount}} \times 100 \). Substitute values: \( \frac{1}{25} \times 100 = 4 \). Since it's a decrease, the percent change is -4% (or 4% decrease).

Answer:

The percent change is a 4% decrease (or -4%).
