This week,973 people went to the beach. Last week, 1193
people went to the beach. The number of people who went to the beach fell by what percent?
To find the percentage decrease, we need to find the difference between the two numbers and divide it by the original number.
The difference between 973 and 1193 is: 1193 - 973 = 220.
To find the percent decrease, we divide the difference by the original number (1193), then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(220 / 1193) x 100 = 18.43%
Therefore, the number of people who went to the beach fell by approximately 18.43%.
