in the first week of July, a record 1,040 people went to the local swimming pool. In the
second week, 100 fewer people went to the pool than in the first week. In the third week, 130 more
people went to the pool than in the second week. In the fourth week, 290 fewer people went to the
pool than in the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the
pool over these four weeks?

Respuesta :

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

First week of July = 1040 people

Fourth week of July = 1040- 100 + 130 - 290 = 780

The number of people that went to the swimming pool in 1st week was 1040 while the 4th week had 780. The percentage decrease will be:

= (1040 - 780) / 1040 × 100

= (260 / 1040) × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%
