Question

percentage 590 of 640

Answer 1

Detailed answer:

A change from 640 to 590 represents a negative change (decrease) of -7.8125%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = [(New - Old ) / |Old|] x 100%

Percent change = [(590 - 640) / |640|] x 100 = [(-50) / 640] x 100 = -7.8125 % (decrease)

Where: 640 is the old value and 590 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -7.8125 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.
