Question

132 days to 125.4 days, what is the percent change?

Answer 1

this is a `-5%` change.

Explanation:

The formula to measure the percent changed is:

`p = (N - O)/O*100%` where `p` is the percent change, `N` is the New value and `O` is the Old value. We are given the Old value (132) and the New value (125.4) which we can substitute into the formula to calculate the percent change:

`p = (125.4 - 132)/132*100%`

`p = -6.6/132*100%`

`p = (-660/132)%`

`p = -5%`
