Answer: The percentage change is -2.87%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 279 to 271? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 279\)
• \(Y = 271\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({271-279 \over 279}\) = \({-8 \over 279}\) = \(-0.028673835125448\)
• \(X = 279\)
• \(Y = 271\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({271-279 \over 279}\) = \({-8 \over 279}\) = \(-0.028673835125448\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.0287\) = \(-2.87 \over 100 \) = \(-2.87\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -2.87%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -2.87%.
