Answers

  1. The deductible mileage cost has reduced by 2.16%
    What is a percentage change?
    A percentage change  compares the difference between the new amount and the old amount to the old amount.
    I mean the percentage change is the new deductible mileage cost minus the old deductible mileage cost divided by the old deductible mileage cost
    New deductible mileage cost= 57.5 cents
    Old deductible mileage cost= 56 cents
    percentage decrease=(56-57.5)/57.5
    percentage decrease=-2.61%
    The negative sign in -2.61% means that there was a percentage decrease in deductible mileage cost by 2.61%
    In essence, the deductible mileage cost has been reduced by 2.16%
    Hundredth of a percent means two decimal places.
