Question

A football player gained 1,200 yd last season and 900 yd this season. Find the percent of change.

Answer 1

Percentage change 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have given that,

• Initial value = 1200

• Final value = 900

Change in percentage= 100×(final value - initial value)/ initial value

• => 100×(900-1200)/900

• => 100×-300/900 = (-25%)

• Total percentage change is =25%

It is in minus because the value this year has decreased from the past year.
