Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage decrease  of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March is 14.8 %  

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Percent decrease is a measure of percent change, which is the extent to which something loses value.

Step 1:

Find out the difference (decrease) between the number of visitors in march and February

Decrease =number of visitors in Fe bury- Number of vsitors in march

Decrease=  1,586- 1,352

Decrease =234

Step 2:

Divide the decrease by the original number of visitors and multiply the answer by 100.

Percent decrease= $\frac{Decrease }{ Original Number }\times100$

Percent decrease= $\frac{236}{1586}\times100$

Percent decrease= $0.148\times100$

Percent decrease =14.88
