Question

Last year a website had 40,000 visitors and this year it had 37,000 visitors.What is the percent change in the number of visitors to the website from last year to this year

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent change formula is

original number - new number all divided by the original number times 100.  For us that looks like this:

$\frac{40000-37000}{40000}*100$ which simplifies to

$\frac{3000}{40000}*100$ which is a 7.5% decrease.
