Question

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.
