Question

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in July was 55,000, In November, the number of tourists per weekend was 18,000. Find the percent of change from July to November

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage change from July to November is 67.27 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in the month of July = $x_1$ = 55,000

The number of tourists at the beach per weekend in the month of November = $x_2$ = 18,000

Let the percentage change from July to November = A %

Or,  % decrease change = $\dfrac{\tetxtrm new value - \textrm old value}{\textrm old value}$ × 100

So , A % = $\dfrac{\tetxtrm [tex]x_2$   - \textrm  $x_1$ }{\textrm  $x_1$ }[/tex] × 100

or, A % = $\frac{55000 - 18000}{55000}$ × 100

Or, A % = $\frac{37000}{55000}$ × 100

Or, A  = 67.27 %

So percentage change between two months = 67.27 %

Hence The percentage change from July to November is 67.27 % Answer
