Let's see how we can calculate this percentage: what is the percentage increase/decrease from 987 to 588? Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to find out.
Step 1: We use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage change}\) = \({Y-X \over X} \cdot 100\%\)
• \(X = 987\)
• \(Y = 588\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({588-987 \over 987}\) = \({-399 \over 987}\) = \(-0.40425531914894\)
• \(X = 987\)
• \(Y = 588\)
• Percentage change calculation = \({588-987 \over 987}\) = \({-399 \over 987}\) = \(-0.40425531914894\)
Step 2: A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
\(-0.4043\) = \(-40.43 \over 100 \) = \(-40.43\%\)
