What is the percentage increase/decrease from 500 to 298?
Answer: The percentage change is -40.4%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 500 to 298? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 500\)
• \(Y = 298\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({298-500 \over 500}\) = \({-202 \over 500}\) = \(-0.404\)
• \(X = 500\)
• \(Y = 298\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({298-500 \over 500}\) = \({-202 \over 500}\) = \(-0.404\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.404\) = \(-40.4 \over 100 \) = \(-40.4\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.4%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.4%.
