Answer 2

The total number of people visited the zoo on Sunday = 845.

The total number of people visited the zoo on Monday = 169.

The decrease in the number of visits = 845 - 169

                                                              = 676.


% Decrease = 676/845 * 100

                     = 67600/845

                    = 80%.



Therefore % decrease in the people visiting the zoo on Monday = 80%.
