Answer 2

The percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four​ weeks was of 20%.

Explanation:

Percent decrease:

The percent decrease is the decrease multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial value.

Decrease was of:

Second week: - 125

Third week: - 125 + 145

Fourth week: -125 + 145 - 224 = -204

Decrease was of 204.

Percent decrease:

Initially 1,020, then a decrease of 204. So

204*100%/1020 = 20%

The percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four​ weeks was of 20%.
