Last year the backgammon group had 30 members this year the group has 24 members find the percent of decrease in the number of members

Answer 1

Percent Decrease = 20% Decrease

Explanation:

To find percentage decrease, we will use a simple formula shown below:

Percentage Decrease/Increase =
`(New-Old)/(Old)*100`

Where

New is the latest number of members (which is 24)

Old is the initial number of members (which is 30)

Note: the multiplication by a factor of "100" brings the answer to a percentage.

Now, lets substitute the numbers and figure out the percentage decrease:

`(New-Old)/(Old)*100\\(24-30)/(30)*100\\(-6)/(30)*100\\-0.2*100\\-20`

So, it comes to -20, which is a decrease of 20%
