Given:

Last year 80 students signed up for a summer trip to Washington, D.C.

This summer 50 students have signed up to go.

To find:

The percent decrease in the number of students.

Solution:

We have,

Students in last year = 80

Students in this year = 50

Now,

Therefore, the correct option is B.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
