a. 11.4%
b. 12%
c. 10.2%
d. 89.9%

Answer 1

option c. 10.2%

Explanation:

Number of visitors to Alec's website in February = 1,544

Number of visitors to website in March = 1,386

Number of decreasing members = 1544 - 1386 = 158 visitors

decrease percentage =
`\frac{\text{number of decreasing members}}{\text{number of previous members}}* 100`

=
`(158)/(1544)* 100`

= 10.233 ≈ 10.2%

percentage decrease of the number of visitors is 10.2%.

Option c. is the answer.
