the answer

Answer 4

So first step we want to know how much decrease there already is IN NUMBERS

so to find that out we use the equation

x = amount of decrease
80 - 52 = x
80 - 52 = 28
x = 28

So now we know that 28 people left the club

Next step, we want to know the PERCENT of decrease

So we divide the AMOUNT of decrease by THE ORIGINAL NUMBER OF MEMBERS

28/80 = 0.35

0.35 is a decimal, but it can be made into a percent by multiplying it by 100

0.35 * 100 = 35

So there was a 35% percent decrease
