Answer: The percentage change is -57.22%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 540 to 231? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 540\)
• \(Y = 231\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({231-540 \over 540}\) = \({-309 \over 540}\) = \(-0.57222222222222\)
• \(X = 540\)
• \(Y = 231\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({231-540 \over 540}\) = \({-309 \over 540}\) = \(-0.57222222222222\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.5722\) = \(-57.22 \over 100 \) = \(-57.22\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -57.22%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -57.22%.
