Answer 1

The answer to the problem is 11.7

Answer 2

11.7 %

Explanation:

To find the percent of decrease from 120 members to 106 members, we need to use the following formula:

percent decrease = [(original value - new value) / original value] x 100%

Plugging in the values, we get:

percent decrease = [(120 - 106) / 120] x 100%

percent decrease = (14 / 120) x 100%

percent decrease = 0.1167 x 100%

percent decrease = 11.67%

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get a percent decrease of 11.7%. Therefore, the percent of decrease from 120 members to 106 members is 11.7%.
