Example:

rm,
you
recently
had
wind
deflectors
installed
on
the
tops
of
all
your
tractors
in

to
save
on
fuel
costs.
Your
average
mileage
jumped
from
5.7
miles
per
gallon
to
6.2
miles
per
gallon.
By
what
percentage
did
you
cut
your
fuel
costs?
Solution:
Before
installing
the
deflectors,
fuel
for
each
mile
on
the
road
cost
you
the
price
of
a
gallon
of
gas
divided
by
5.7.
Now
each
mile
only
costs
you
the
price
of
a
gallon
of
gas
divided
by
6.2.
