Really embarrassed that I have to ask this but needs must.

I'm practicing online numeracy tests and I am bamboozled by the following question:

If the number of Bus passengers who are under 35 decreased by 0.8% next year, and 11% of this age group traveled by Bus, approximately how many commuters would be under 35?

It must be something stupidly simple but I've been going over it again and again and I am confused to **** :o:o:o:o

Help :(
 
Ah, I see! Thanks!

I was decreasing the 12% to 11.2% :rolleyes:

The questions don't appear to be very difficult but add in time pressure and things can go wrong easily :\
