Answer: The percentage change is -72.07%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 17.9 to 5? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 17.9\)
• \(Y = 5\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5-17.9 \over 17.9}\) = \({-12.9 \over 17.9}\) = \(-0.72067039106145\)
• \(X = 17.9\)
• \(Y = 5\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5-17.9 \over 17.9}\) = \({-12.9 \over 17.9}\) = \(-0.72067039106145\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.7207\) = \(-72.07 \over 100 \) = \(-72.07\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -72.07%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -72.07%.
