Answer:

the percentage change in the volume of the oil is -3.22%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage change in the volume of the oil is given below:

= -(6,000 - 0) รท (186,000)

= -3.22%

This negative sign represents the decrease in the volume

Hence, the percentage change in the volume of the oil is -3.22%
