Answer 2

✬ Decrease % = 80 % ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Number of people went to zoo on Sunday = 845.
• Number of people went to zoo on Monday = 169

To Find:

• What is the percentage decrease in the people visiting zoo on Monday

Solution: Here, Initial value is Sunday and Final value is Monday. Therefore,

➯ Decrease in value = No. of people on (Sunday – Monday)

➯ Decrease = ( 845 – 169 )

➯ Decrease = 676 people

Now, Finding percentage of decrease.

As we know that,

★ Decrease % = (Decrease in value/Initial value) $\times$ 100 ★

$\implies{\rm }$ Decrease % = (676/845 $\times$ 100)

$\implies{\rm }$ (676/169 $\times$ 20)

$\implies{\rm }$ (52/13 $\times$ 20)

$\implies{\rm }$ (1040/13)

$\implies{\rm }$ 80%

Hence, There is 80% decrease in people visiting zoo on Monday.
