The decrease in circulation of news letter=\(3200-2464=736\)

The percent decrease in circulation of news letter is given by :_

\(\frac{\text{Decrease in circulation}}{\text{Previous circulation}}\times100\\\\=\frac{736}{3200}\times100=23\%\)

Hence, the percent of decrease in circulation was 23%.
