Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The percent decrease  is 8 percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Attendance dropped from 250 to 230

To Find:

Percent decrease to the nearest percent.

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the change (subtract old value from the new value)

The old attendance value =  250

The new attendance value =  230

the change is  = 250-230 = 20

Step 2:  Divide that change by the old value (you will get a decimal number)

Dividing the change by the old attendance value

=>$\frac{20}{250}$

=> 0.08

Step 3:Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign)

=> $0.08 \times 100$

=> 8%
