Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 42 to 18? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 42\)
• \(Y = 18\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({18-42 \over 42}\) = \({-24 \over 42}\) = \(-0.57142857142857\)
• \(X = 42\)
• \(Y = 18\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({18-42 \over 42}\) = \({-24 \over 42}\) = \(-0.57142857142857\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.5714\) = \(-57.14 \over 100 \) = \(-57.14\%\)
