Answer: The percentage change is -3.5%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 143 to 138? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 143\)
• \(Y = 138\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({138-143 \over 143}\) = \({-5 \over 143}\) = \(-0.034965034965035\)
• \(X = 143\)
• \(Y = 138\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({138-143 \over 143}\) = \({-5 \over 143}\) = \(-0.034965034965035\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.035\) = \(-3.5 \over 100 \) = \(-3.5\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -3.5%.
