In the first week of july, a record of 1060 people went to the local swimming pool. In the second week, 110 fewer people went to pool than in the first week. In the third week, 140 more people went to the pool than in the second. In the fourth week, 136 fewer people went to the poil than the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over those 4 weeks

Answer 1

The percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over the four weeks is 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over the four weeks, we need to calculate the difference between the number of people in the first week and the fourth week, and then find the percentage decrease.

First, let's find the number of people in each week:

• Week 1: 1060 people
• Week 2: 1060 - 110 = 950 people
• Week 3: 950 + 140 = 1090 people
• Week 4: 1090 - 136 = 954 people

Now, let's find the difference in the number of people between the first and fourth week:

1060 - 954 = 106 people

Finally, let's find the percentage decrease:

(106 / 1060) * 100

= 10%

The percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over the four weeks is 10%.
