Question

Last year a website had 40,000 visitors and this year it had 37,000 visitors.What is the percent change in the number of visitors to the website from last year to this year

Answer 1

Explanation:

The percent change formula is

original number - new number all divided by the original number times 100. For us that looks like this:

`(40000-37000)/(40000)*100` which simplifies to

`(3000)/(40000)*100` which is a 7.5% decrease.
