Answer: The percentage change is -5.25%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 59 to 55.9? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 59\)
• \(Y = 55.9\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({55.9-59 \over 59}\) = \({-3.1 \over 59}\) = \(-0.052542372881356\)
• \(X = 59\)
• \(Y = 55.9\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({55.9-59 \over 59}\) = \({-3.1 \over 59}\) = \(-0.052542372881356\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.0525\) = \(-5.25 \over 100 \) = \(-5.25\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -5.25%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -5.25%.
