Question

The number of students in a school fell from 700 last year to 646 this year. What is the percentage reduction?

Answer 1

Answer: 7.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students in a school last year = 700

Number of students in a school this year = 646

Reduction in the number of students = 700 - 646 = 54

The percentage reduction will be:

= Reduction in number / Last year students × 100

= (54 / 700) × 100

= 7.71%
