Answer: The percentage change is -86.58%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 298 to 40? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 298\)
• \(Y = 40\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({40-298 \over 298}\) = \({-258 \over 298}\) = \(-0.86577181208054\)
• \(X = 298\)
• \(Y = 40\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({40-298 \over 298}\) = \({-258 \over 298}\) = \(-0.86577181208054\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.8658\) = \(-86.58 \over 100 \) = \(-86.58\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -86.58%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -86.58%.
