Answer:the number of lacrosse sticks that were sold in November is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of lacrosse sticks sold at a sporting goods store in November decreases by 35% from the number sold in October. If the number of lacrosse sticks sold in October is 80, then the amount by which it decreased would be

35/100 * 80 = 0.35 * 80 = 28

Therefore, the number of lacrosse sticks that were sold in November would be

80 - 28 = 52
