Answer:

  • 95% decrease is the percent change.

Explanation:

  • 400000 = 100%
  • => 400000/x = 20000 = 100/x
  • => 400000 = 20000x
  • => 400000/20000 = x
  • => 40/2 = x
  • => 20 = x
  • => 100/20
  • => 5%

This means that 20000 is 5%

  • => 100 - 5 = 95

Hence, 95% decrease is the percent change.

Hoped this helped.
