What is the percentage increase/decrease from 258 to 242?
Answer: The percentage change is -6.2%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 258 to 242? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 258\)
• \(Y = 242\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({242-258 \over 258}\) = \({-16 \over 258}\) = \(-0.062015503875969\)
• \(X = 258\)
• \(Y = 242\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({242-258 \over 258}\) = \({-16 \over 258}\) = \(-0.062015503875969\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.062\) = \(-6.2 \over 100 \) = \(-6.2\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -6.2%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -6.2%.
