There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Members last year = Old value = 30

Members this year = New year = 24

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 24 - 30

Change = -6

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{6}{30}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{600}{30}$

Decrease percent = 20%

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.
