Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

PRINCETON:

December - 50

January - 40

Decrease = 50 - 40 = 10

Percentage Decrease = Decrease/Original value × 100

= 10/50 × 100

= 20%

2) WORCESTER:

December - 256

January - 197

Decrease = 256 - 197 = 59

Percentage Decrease = Decrease/Original value × 100

= 59/256 × 100

= 23.05%

3) CHICAGO:

December - 7050

January - 6708

Decrease = 7050 - 6708 = 342

Percentage Decrease = Decrease/Original value × 100

= 342/7050 × 100

= 4.85%
