Answer: The percentage change is -40.25%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 40 to 23.9? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 40\)
• \(Y = 23.9\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({23.9-40 \over 40}\) = \({-16.1 \over 40}\) = \(-0.4025\)
• \(X = 40\)
• \(Y = 23.9\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({23.9-40 \over 40}\) = \({-16.1 \over 40}\) = \(-0.4025\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.4025\) = \(-40.25 \over 100 \) = \(-40.25\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.25%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.25%.
