Question

Solve the problem.

All 37 of the students in a mathematics class attended class on Monday. On Tuesday only 25 students attended. What was the percent decrease?

52%

67.6%

32.4%

48%

Answer 1

Answer:

32.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we need to consider that 37 students are the total of students in math, so:

37=100%

Now, because only 25 students went the next day, the number of students that didn't attend is:

37-25=12

This means that 12 out of 37 students is the decrease number, which in percentage is:

(12/37)*100%=32.4%
