Question

What is the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 ?

Answer 1

Answer: 82% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number =5000

Final number = 900

Change in numbers = 5000 - 900 = 4100

Since 5000 > 900 ( the change is a decrease)

Thus, the percent change =

(4100/5000) x 100%

= 82%

Thus, the percent of change from 5,000 to 900 is 82% decrease

Answer 2

82% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage

percentage change formula :

$\frac{change}{origional} * 100$

the change = 5000-900 = 4100

the original = 5000

= $\frac{4100}{5000} *100$

= 82 %

to find out if its an increase or decrease notice that the question says 5000 to 900. meaning

from 5000 you are reducing to 900 === hence decrease

the percentage change is : a percentage decrease of 82%
