Question

In 2015 the viewership of a particular show was 5.6 million. A year later the viewership was 3.7 million. What was the percent of increase or decrease?

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage decrease is -33.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we check if there is an increase or decrease

Since we went from 5.5 million to 3.7 million, that is a decrease

Percentage decrease = (3.7 - 5.6)/5.6 * 100%

= -1.9/5.6 * 100% = -33.93%
