Answer: The percentage change is -0.8%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 879 to 872? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 879\)
• \(Y = 872\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({872-879 \over 879}\) = \({-7 \over 879}\) = \(-0.0079635949943117\)
• \(X = 879\)
• \(Y = 872\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({872-879 \over 879}\) = \({-7 \over 879}\) = \(-0.0079635949943117\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.008\) = \(-0.8 \over 100 \) = \(-0.8\%\)
