Question

What is the rate of change (as a %) if the number of employees in a company decreases from 136 to 84?

Answer 1

The rate of change is 38.24%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change can be calculated using the formula:

Percentage change = (Change in quantity / Quantity) x 100%

In this case, the change in quantity of employees is 136 - 84 = 52 employees. The initial quantity of employees is 136. So the rate of change can be calculated as:

Rate of change = (52 / 136) x 100% = 38.24%

Answer 2

38.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Initial number= 136

FInal number= 84

%dcrease= initial-final/initial*100

%dcrease= 136-84/136*100

%dcrease= 52/136*100

%dcrease=0.382*100

%dcrease=38.2%

Hence the decrease is 38.2%
