Question

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members this year the club has 24 members find the percent of decrease of members

Answer 1

Answer:

Percent Decrease = 20% Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage decrease, we will use a simple formula shown below:

Percentage Decrease/Increase = $\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100$

Where

New is the latest number of members (which is 24)

Old is the initial number of members (which is 30)

Note: the multiplication by a factor of "100" brings the answer to a percentage.

Now, lets substitute the numbers and figure out the percentage decrease:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\\frac{24-30}{30}*100\\\frac{-6}{30}*100\\-0.2*100\\-20$

So, it comes to -20, which is a decrease of 20%
