Question There is a blank percentage decrease from nineteen hundred.What's the answer

Answer 1

To calculate the relative change in the number of daily newspapers from 1900 to now using a percentage, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Relative Change (\%)} = \left( \frac{\text{Old Value} - \text{New Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \right) \times 100
\]

Here, the old value (in 1900) is 2236, and the new value is 1455.

Now, plug in these values:

\[
\text{Relative Change (\%)} = \left( \frac{2236 - 1455}{2236} \right) \times 100
\]

First, calculate the difference:

\[
2236 - 1455 = 781
\]

Now, divide by the old value:

\[
\frac{781}{2236} \approx 0.349
\]

Finally, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

\[
0.349 \times 100 \approx 34.9\%
\]

So, the percentage decrease from 1900 is approximately **34.9%**.

### Statement

There is a **34.9%** decrease in the number of daily newspapers from 1900 to now.
