What is the percent of change from 8 to 2?

Answer 1

To calculate the percent change from 8 to 2, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100 \]

In this case:

• New Value = 2
• Old Value = 8

Plugging in these values:

\[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{2 - 8}{8} \times 100 = \frac{-6}{8} \times 100 = -0.75 \times 100 = -75% \]

So, the percent change from 8 to 2 is -75%. This indicates a decrease.
