Question

In the first week of​ July, a record 1060 people went to the local swimming pool. In the second​ week, 125 fewer people went to the pool than in the first week. In the third​ week, 140 more people went to the pool than in the second week. In the fourth​ week, 280 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four​ weeks?

Answer 1

Answer: 48.6%

Explanation:

Subtract all of 'em
1060-125-140-280= 515
Divide your answer with 1060
515/1060= 0.4858490566037736
Move the decimal to the right 2 times to make the percentage then round up
0.4858490566037736 = 48.6%
