Question

On Sunday 845 people went to Zoo. On Monday only 169 people went. What is the percent decrease in the people visiting the Zoo?

Answer 1

Given that on Sunday, 845 people went to the zoo and on Monday, 169 people went to the zoo
Decrease in the number of people $=845-169=676$
$\therefore \text{Percent decrease}=(\frac{\text{Decrease in the number of people}}{\text{Number of people who went to zoo on Sunday}}\times )\text{\%}$
$=(\frac{676}{845}\times 100)\text{\%}$
$=80\text{\%}$
