We are looking for a percentage change. The formula for a percentage change is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{|P_2-P_1|}{P_1}\times100\text{ \%} \\ \text{Where:} \\ P_1=\text{Base values = 4500} \\ P_2=\text{Comparison value = 2532} \end{gathered}[/tex]Executing, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{|2532-4500|}{4500}\times100\text{ \%} \\ \frac{1968}{4500}\times100\text{ \%} \\ =43.73\text{ \%}\approx43.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]There was a percentage 43.7%
