Answer: The percentage change is 16%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 5 to 5.8? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 5\)
• \(Y = 5.8\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5.8-5 \over 5}\) = \({0.8 \over 5}\) = \(0.16\)
• \(X = 5\)
• \(Y = 5.8\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({5.8-5 \over 5}\) = \({0.8 \over 5}\) = \(0.16\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(0.16\) = \(16 \over 100 \) = \(16\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is 16%.
