Answer:

The Percent change is -30% (decrease)

In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -30 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.

Explanation:

Here, To find the percentage change, use this formula

Formula:

Percent change = New - Old ÷ |Old| × 100%

Percent change = 210 - 300 ÷ |300| × 100%

Percent change = -90/300 × 100%

Percent change = -30% (decrease)

Thus, The Percent change is -30% (decrease)
