Answer: The percentage change is -2.9%.
Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 898 to 872? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 898\)
• \(Y = 872\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({872-898 \over 898}\) = \({-26 \over 898}\) = \(-0.028953229398664\)
• \(X = 898\)
• \(Y = 872\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({872-898 \over 898}\) = \({-26 \over 898}\) = \(-0.028953229398664\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.029\) = \(-2.9 \over 100 \) = \(-2.9\%\)
\(Answer: \) The percentage change is -2.9%.
