Question

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

Answer 1

No, of people who went to Zoo on Sunday = $845$

No. of people who went to Zoo on Monday = $169$

$\therefore$ Decrease in the number of people = $845-169=676$

Hence, percentage decrease = $\frac{\text{Decrease in number}}{\text{Original number}}\times 100$

= $\frac{676}{845}\times 100$

= $0.8\times 100$

= $80\%$

Hence, the percentage decrease in the people visiting the zoo on Monday is $80\%$.
