Question

Calculate the increase or decrease per cent
b. Poaching of lions decreased from 60,000 to 40,000.​

Answer 1

Answer: 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, no of lions= 60,000

Finally, no if lions= 40,000

Therefore, decrease in no of lions= 60,000-40,000 = 20,000

Percentage of decrease = (no of lions decreased/total no of lions initially) × 100 = (20,000/60,000) × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%
