NEED DONE ASAP. IT'S 12AM AND I WANNA GET THIS DONE SO I CAN SLEEP..

The average attendance at a local high school's football games went down from 2000 people in 2003 to 1600 people in 2004. If p is the percent decrease in attendance from 2003 to 2004, which proportion can be used to compute p?

A ) 2000-1600
______________
2000 = P
____
100

B ) 2000-1600
____________
1600 =P
_____
100

C ) 1600-2000
_______________ = P
1600 ____
100

D ) 1600-2000
_____________
2000 = P
_____
100

Answer 1

The options seem a bit mis-formatted but here is the way p is computed:

the decrease is 2000-1600

and it is relative to: 2000  (2003 attendance)

so $p=100 \frac{2000-1600}{2000} = 100 \frac{400}{2000}$

and so that aligns with your Option A. Options B, C, D look incorrect for sure.
