Answer: The percentage change is -40.33%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 838 to 500? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 838\)
• \(Y = 500\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({500-838 \over 838}\) = \({-338 \over 838}\) = \(-0.40334128878282\)
• \(X = 838\)
• \(Y = 500\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({500-838 \over 838}\) = \({-338 \over 838}\) = \(-0.40334128878282\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.4033\) = \(-40.33 \over 100 \) = \(-40.33\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.33%.
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -40.33%.
