Answer: The percentage change is -3%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 1936 to 1878? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 1936\)
• \(Y = 1878\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({1878-1936 \over 1936}\) = \({-58 \over 1936}\) = \(-0.02995867768595\)
• \(X = 1936\)
• \(Y = 1878\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({1878-1936 \over 1936}\) = \({-58 \over 1936}\) = \(-0.02995867768595\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
