Answer: The percentage change is -86.93%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 1997 to 261? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 1997\)
• \(Y = 261\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({261-1997 \over 1997}\) = \({-1736 \over 1997}\) = \(-0.8693039559339\)
• \(X = 1997\)
• \(Y = 261\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({261-1997 \over 1997}\) = \({-1736 \over 1997}\) = \(-0.8693039559339\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.8693\) = \(-86.93 \over 100 \) = \(-86.93\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -86.93%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -86.93%.
