Explanation:

DETAILED ANSWER:

A change from 50 to 43 represents a negative change (decrease) of -14.000000000000002%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = [(New - Old ) / |Old|] x 100%

Percent change = [(43 - 50) / |50|] x 100 = [(-7) / 50] x 100 = -14.000000000000002 % (decrease)

Where: 50 is the old value and 43 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -14.000000000000002 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.
