Answer: The percentage change is -1.36%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 587 to 579? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 587\)
• \(Y = 579\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({579-587 \over 587}\) = \({-8 \over 587}\) = \(-0.013628620102215\)
• \(X = 587\)
• \(Y = 579\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({579-587 \over 587}\) = \({-8 \over 587}\) = \(-0.013628620102215\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.0136\) = \(-1.36 \over 100 \) = \(-1.36\%\)
