Eighty parents attended the Grade 6 orientation last year. Only 70 parents attended this year. Find
the percent of decrease in the attendance.​


Sagot :

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Last year = 80
  • This year = 70

Percent of decrease = [ 80-70 / 80 ]× 100%

Percent of decrease = 10/80 × 100%

Percent of decrease = 0.125 × 100%

Percent of decrease = 12.5%

Therefore , the percent of decrease is 12.5%
