Answer: The percentage change is -36.53%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 438 to 278? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 438\)
• \(Y = 278\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({278-438 \over 438}\) = \({-160 \over 438}\) = \(-0.36529680365297\)
• \(X = 438\)
• \(Y = 278\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({278-438 \over 438}\) = \({-160 \over 438}\) = \(-0.36529680365297\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.3653\) = \(-36.53 \over 100 \) = \(-36.53\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -36.53%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -36.53%.
