Step-by-step explanation:
to compare day 1 with day 2 :
100% = 8
1% = 100%/100
25% = 25×1% = 100% × 25/100 = 8 × 1/4 = 2
so, on day 2 he walks 8+2 = 10 laps.
on day 3 he walks then 10-1 = 9 laps.
so, now, to calculate the % decrease compared to day 2
100% = 10
1% = 100%/100 = 0.1
how many % is represented by this 1 lap he was walking less ?
1 / 1% = 1 / 0.1 = 10%
so he had a 10% decrease from day 2 to day 3.
