Answer: The percentage change is 159%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 1978 to 5123? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 1978\)
• \(Y = 5123\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5123-1978 \over 1978}\) = \({3145 \over 1978}\) = \(1.5899898887765\)
• \(X = 1978\)
• \(Y = 5123\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5123-1978 \over 1978}\) = \({3145 \over 1978}\) = \(1.5899898887765\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
