Answer 1

Answer: I would say that the best answer is actually that people who are not opposed to the new rule are less motivated to call than the people who are opposing it, who feel that they need to do something about it.

But this is not one of the options. Among the options, the best is:
A. The survey is voluntary and includes only listeners of this radio program.

The new number, 200, is 400 less than the original number. What is the approximate percent change

Answers

first, what was the original number?

it was 200+400=1000!

and when we want to know the change in percent, we divide the "new" number over the "original" number: and we'll know that percentage of the original the new number is!:

$(200)/(1000) *100%= (2)/(10) *100%=(200)/(10) %=20%.$

so the percent change was 80 %: the original number was reduced by (100-20)=80 %

The answer is 66%. Sorry if it is wrong.
