Last quarter, 200 students participated in the after-school tutoring program. This quarter, 184 students are participating in the after-school tutoring program. Find the percent of decrease from last quarter to this quarter.
take the absolute value of the difference and divide it by the original number. |200 - 184| / 200 = 16/200 = 0.08...multiply by 100 to get the percent = 8% so there was an 8% decrease from last quarter to this quarter
