Answer: The percentage change is -53.75%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 40 to 18.5? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 40\)
• \(Y = 18.5\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({18.5-40 \over 40}\) = \({-21.5 \over 40}\) = \(-0.5375\)
• \(X = 40\)
• \(Y = 18.5\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({18.5-40 \over 40}\) = \({-21.5 \over 40}\) = \(-0.5375\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.5375\) = \(-53.75 \over 100 \) = \(-53.75\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -53.75%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -53.75%.
