Question

In February, Alec had 1,576 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,377 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Basically, to find the percent decrease, we first have to find the percent that it is in:
1576n = 1377
n = 1377/1567
(I used a calculator, if you want me to show work, just ask)
0.8787
This is 87.874%
We subtract this by 100%:
100 - 87.874
12.126%
We need to round to the nearest tenth, so:
12.13%
Alec had a 12.13% drop of visitors on his website
