Step-by-step explanation:
introduction. Per cent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
- 4.5% = - 4.5/100 = - 4.5 ÷ 100 = - 0.045.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Increase the number by - 4.5% of its value.
Percentage increase = - 4.5% × 14,187.13
New value = 14,187.13 + Percentage increase
Calculate the New Value
New value =
14,187.13 + Percentage increase =
14,187.13 + (- 4.5% × 14,187.13) =
14,187.13 - 4.5% × 14,187.13 =
(1 - 4.5%) × 14,187.13 =
(100% - 4.5%) × 14,187.13 =
95.5% × 14,187.13 =
95.5 ÷ 100 × 14,187.13 =
95.5 × 14,187.13 ÷ 100 =
1,354,870.915 ÷ 100 =
13,548.70915 ≈
13,548.71
Calculate absolute change (actual difference)
Absolute change (actual difference) =
New value - 14,187.13 =
13,548.70915 - 14,187.13 =
- 638.42085 ≈
- 638.42
