Step-by-step explanation:
%decrease = 1800 - 500 * 100
__________
1800
%decrease = 1300/1800 * 100
% decrease = 72.2%
Average attendance in 2003 = 1800
Average attendance in 2004 = 500
Decrease in attendance = 1800 - 500 = 1300
Decrease percentage in attendance
[tex] = \frac{1300}{1800} \times 100[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{13}{18} \times 100[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{13}{9} \times 50[/tex]
=72.22
