Question

On Sunday 845 people went to the Zoo. On Monday only 169 people went. What is the per cent decrease in the people visiting the zoo on Monday?

Answer 1

It is given that on Sunday, 845 people went to the zoo and on Monday, 169 people went.

Decrease in the number of people = 845 - 169 = 676

Percentage decrease =( Decrease in the number of people x 100 / Number of people who went to zoo on sunday )%

= ( 676/845 x 100)% = 80%
