You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.
If the number of entries decreased by 20%, then it is only 80% of last year:
530 * .80 = 424 entries
2. 30% of 200 is 60 (.3 * 200 = 60). The number of accounts now totals 260 accounts.
3. The increase in gas stations is 30. ( 150 - 120 = 30 ). Set this problem up as a proportionality
30/120 = x/100
and cross multiply
120x = 3000
Divide both sides by 120
x = 25 (%) increase
