Number of people that went to the skating rink last week = 420
Number of people that went to the skating rink this week = 294
Then
Decrease in the number
of people going to the skating rink this week = 420 - 294
= 126
Percentage decrease in the number
of people going to the skating rink this week = (126/420) * 100
= 1260/42
= 30 percent
So there is 30% decrease in the percentage of people going to the skating rink this week.
