An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, his stock in Company A was worth $6100 and his stock in Company B was worth $6480. The stock in Company A has decreased 2% since last year and the stock in Company B has decreased 10%. What was the total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

60 percent of $54 is found like this 54•0.60=$32.40 That would be your answer if you really meant that the pants are on sale for 60% "OF" the original price If you meant 60% "OFF" the original price, you just have to do one more step $54-32.40= $21.60 One little word can change the whole meaning! OF or OFF makes a big difference in this case.
