Question

In February, Alec had 1,513 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,400 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

7.5%

Explanation:

The general formula for the percent change of an amount is:

`(original-new)/(original)x100`

Since the original amount is 1,513 visitors and the new amount for March is only 1,400 visitors:

`((1,512-1,400))/(1,513)X100=7.5percent`
