Question 1007605: Originally, there were 32 members of the chess club. Now, there are only 20 members.
What is the percent decrease in the number of members? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! % decrease is found by (old - new) / old changed into a percentage, or
(32-20)/32 = 12/32 = 3/8 = .375 = 37.5%
