Question

The average attendance at a local high school's football games went down from 1800 people in 2003 to
500 people in 2004. What was the percent decrease in attendance at the football games?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

%decrease = 1800 - 500 * 100

__________

1800

%decrease = 1300/1800 * 100

% decrease = 72.2%

Answer 2

Average attendance in 2003 = 1800

Average attendance in 2004 = 500

Decrease in attendance = 1800 - 500 = 1300

Decrease percentage in attendance

$= \frac{1300}{1800} \times 100$

$= \frac{13}{18} \times 100$

$= \frac{13}{9} \times 50$

=72.22
