Question

Last year, a poll of 1,000 voters conducted by the staff of Senator Chun found that 522 people approved of the job the senator was doing. This year, a new poll of 1,000 voters shows that 423 people approve of the senator’s performance. Find the percent of change in the number of voters who approve of the senator’s performance, and identify it as an increase or decrease.
19%; increase
23.4%; decrease
23.4%; increase
19%; decrease

Answer 1

18.9 % is decrease is what I got.

Answer 2

So rounding it up, it must be 19% decrease.
This is how I got it :
(522 - 423) * 100 / 522 which equals 19% (approx)
