Answer: 2001 people attended the football game this week.

Explanation:

Given: Total people came to the ball game = 2300

Decrease percent = 13%

Number of people attended the football game this week = p-0.13p, where p= number of people attended football last week.

for p= 2300

Number of people attended the football game this week = 2300- 0.13 x (2300)

=2300- 299

= 2001

hence, 2001 people attended the football game this week.
