Answer: The percentage change is -86.85%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 1840 to 242? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 1840\)
• \(Y = 242\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({242-1840 \over 1840}\) = \({-1598 \over 1840}\) = \(-0.86847826086957\)
• \(X = 1840\)
• \(Y = 242\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({242-1840 \over 1840}\) = \({-1598 \over 1840}\) = \(-0.86847826086957\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.8685\) = \(-86.85 \over 100 \) = \(-86.85\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -86.85%.
