d. 89.9%

Respuesta :

Answer:

option c. 10.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of visitors to Alec's website in February = 1,544

Number of visitors to website in March = 1,386

Number of decreasing members = 1544 - 1386 = 158 visitors

decrease percentage = [tex]\frac{\text{number of decreasing members}}{\text{number of previous members}}\times 100[/tex]

                                    = [tex]\frac{158}{1544}\times 100[/tex]

                                    = 10.233 ≈ 10.2%

percentage decrease of the number of visitors is 10.2%.

Option c. is the answer.
