Basically, to find the percent decrease, we first have to find the percent that it is in:

1576n = 1377

n = 1377/1567

(I used a calculator, if you want me to show work, just ask)

0.8787

This is 87.874%

We subtract this by 100%:

100 - 87.874

12.126%

We need to round to the nearest tenth, so:

12.13%

Alec had a 12.13% drop of visitors on his website
