Answer:

the number decreased by 80%

Explanation:

The percentage change can be computed using ...

percent change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Putting the given numbers into this equation gives ...

percent change = (6/30 -1) × 100% = -4/5 × 100%

percent change = -80%

A negative sign on the percent change means the change was a decrease. The number of students who went to tutoring decreased by 80%.
