What is the percent of change from 10 to 1?

Answer 1

To calculate the percent change from 10 to 1, you can use the following formula:

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

In this case, the old value is 10, and the new value is 1. Plugging in those values:

\[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{1 - 10}{10} \times 100 \]

Calculate the difference:

\[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{-9}{10} \times 100 \]

Now calculate it:

\[ \text{Percent Change} = -0.9 \times 100 = -90% \]

So, the percent change from 10 to 1 is -90%. This indicates a decrease of 90%.
