Answer: The percentage change is -8.72%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 172 to 157? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 172\)
• \(Y = 157\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({157-172 \over 172}\) = \({-15 \over 172}\) = \(-0.087209302325581\)
• \(X = 172\)
• \(Y = 157\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({157-172 \over 172}\) = \({-15 \over 172}\) = \(-0.087209302325581\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.0872\) = \(-8.72 \over 100 \) = \(-8.72\%\)
