What is the percent of change from 75 to 36?

1 answer

To calculate the percent of change from 75 to 36, you can use the following formula:

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

In this case, the Old Value is 75 and the New Value is 36.

  1. Calculate the difference (New Value - Old Value):
    \( 36 - 75 = -39 \)

  2. Divide the difference by the Old Value:
    \( \frac{-39}{75} = -0.52 \)

  3. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
    \( -0.52 \times 100 = -52% \)

So, the percent of change from 75 to 36 is -52%, indicating a decrease of 52%.
