Answer 1

The percent decreased of the number of visitors to Alec’s website

from February to March is 9.1%

Explanation:

* Lets talk about the percentage of increase and decrease

- Percent of Increase (Decrease) =

(amount of increase or decrease ÷ original amount) × 100%

- Increase {New amount > Original amount}

- Decrease {Original amount > New amount}

* Now lets solve the problem

- The number of visitors in February is 1518

- The number of visitors in March is 1380

- The number in March < the number in February

∴ The decreasing amount = 1518 - 1380 = 138 visitors

∵ The original number = 1518

∴ The percent decreased = (138 ÷ 1518) × 100% = 9.1%

* The percent decreased of the number of visitors to Alec’s website

from February to March is 9.1%
