Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 979 to 493? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 979\)
• \(Y = 493\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({493-979 \over 979}\) = \({-486 \over 979}\) = \(-0.49642492339122\)
• \(X = 979\)
• \(Y = 493\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({493-979 \over 979}\) = \({-486 \over 979}\) = \(-0.49642492339122\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
