Suppose we have a data about the number of smoking adults in a community:
year number of adults who smoking 2009 1000
2007 2000
How to describe it? I would like to express something like this:
The number of smoking adults in the community reduced/decreased from 2000 in the year of 2007 to 1000 in the year of 2009, which is 1000 off, or 50% off in percentage.
Could you help me make it sounds better? Thanks.
