Suicide Rate Decrease


1. The problem is to verify the percentage decrease in suicide cases in the Philippines from 2023 to 2025. 2. The initial number of cases in 2023 is $3133$. 3. The number of cases in 2025 is $2000$. 4. The formula for percentage decrease is: $$\text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{\text{Initial} - \text{Final}}{\text{Initial}} \times 100$$ 5. Substitute the values: $$\frac{3133 - 2000}{3133} \times 100 = \frac{1133}{3133} \times 100$$ 6. Calculate the fraction: $$\frac{1133}{3133} \approx 0.3617$$ 7. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: $$0.3617 \times 100 = 36.17\%$$ 8. Rounded to one decimal place, the percentage decrease is $36.2\%$. 9. This matches the given decrease, confirming the data is correct.
