Question
Solution
To calculate the percentage decrease in the number of employees, follow these steps:
-
Find the decrease in the number of employees: 40 (initial number of employees) - 28 (final number of employees) = 12 (decrease in employees)
-
Next, divide the decrease in employees by the initial number of employees: 12 (decrease in employees) / 40 (initial number of employees) = 0.3
-
Finally, to get the percentage, multiply the result by 100: 0.3 * 100 = 30%
So, the percentage decrease in the number of employees is 30%.
