Answer 1

Kindly upload the chart the text mentions.

The chart shows 25 fish on Wednesday

12 on Friday

20 on Saturday

and 10 on Sunday

We are asked to find the PERCENT DECREASE of Saturday compared to Wednesday.

So we recall the formula for percent decrease as:

(Initial Value - Final Value) / Initial Value times 100.

So, in our case the percent decrease becomes:

% decrease = (25 - 20) / 25 * 100 = 5/25 * 100 = 20%
