In an effort to protect the environment, Steve is trying to get the citizens of his hometown, Yardley, to waste less water. A study indicated that they wasted 75,900 gallons of water last year and 44,022 gallons of water this year. What is the percent of decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly?

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Water wasted last year = 75,900 gallons

Water wasted this year = 44,022 gallons

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly = (Water wasted last year - Water wasted this year) / Water wasted last year × 100

= (75,900 - 44,022) / 75,900 × 100

= 31,878 / 75,900 × 100

= 0.42 × 100

= 42%

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly is 42%

81 seats

step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 0.65 times 125 then you get 81.5 seats. well since you can't have half of a seat you have to round down and get 81 seats in the no children zones. that leave 44 seats outside of the no children zone.
