This week, 957 people went to the beach. Last week, 1,207 people went to the beach. The number of people who went to the beach fell by what percent? Use pencil and paper. Explain how you know whether the answer is greater than or less than 25%

Less than 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the difference of the two numbers: 1,207 - 957 = 250

decrease = original number - new number

2. Then, divide the decrease by the original number

250/1,207 = 0.207

3. Multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage

0.207 x 100 = 20.7%

Therefore, the number of people fell by 20.7%

Hence, the answer is less than 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17

mark brainliest and have a great day!

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
