To calculate the percentage decrease, we need to find the difference between the two numbers and then divide it by the original number.
The difference between the two numbers is 1167 - 961 = 206.
The original number is 1167.
Now, we divide the difference by the original number:
206 / 1167 = 0.1768
Finally, we convert this decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.1768 * 100 = 17.68
Therefore, the number of people who went to the beach fell by 17.68%.
