What is the percent change for 50,000 to 40,000?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

There was a #-20%# change

The formula for percentage or rate change is:

#p = (N - O)/O * 100#

Where: #p#is the percentage change #N# is the New Value (40,000 for this problem) #O# is the Old Value (50,000 for this problem)

Substituting and calculating #p# gives:

#p = (40000 - 50000)/50000 * 100#

#p = (- 10000)/50000 * 100#

#p = (- 1000000)/50000#

#p = -20#
