Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original number of students = 250

New number of students = 195 students

Number of students absent = 250 - 195 = 55

percentage decrease = Number absent/Original number * 100

percentage decrease = 55/250 * 100

percentage decrease = 5500/250

percentage decrease = 22%

Hence the percentage decrease is 22%
