hi
here is the method :
you take Value 1 and Value 2
And you do : ( Value 2 - Value 1) / (Value 1 ) * 100
Here we have : Value 1 = 352 000
Value 2 = 337 920
So now we apply :
( 337 920 - 352 000 ) / ( 352 000) * 100 = -4
Population decreased by by 4 %
You can also make :
352 000 * X = 337 920
X = 337 920 / 352 000
X = 0.96
if the multiplier is 0.96 , it's mean that we lost 1 -0.96 = 0.04
which mean - 4%
