What is the percentage increase/decrease from 72 to 42?

The formula for increasing or decreasing the percentage from 72 to 42 is as follows:

Basic Formula:

The following formula can be used to calculate the percentage of a number to another number:

Percentage Change = (\frac{New Value - Old Value}{Old Value}) \times 100

Example Calculation:

Let’s add the following values:

Old Value = 72

New Value = 42

Percentage Change = (\frac{42 - 72}{72}) \times 100

Let us now proceed to solve it systematically.

Calculate the difference between the new and old values: $42 - 72 = -30$
Divide the difference by the old value: $\frac{-30}{72}$
Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: $\frac{-30}{72} \times 100$
$\frac{-30}{72} = -0.41666666666667$
$-0.41666666666667 \times 100 = -41.67 %$

Therefore, the approximate percentage increase from 72 to 42 is . $-41.67 %$ .

Knowing how to work with percentages gives you the ability to solve many problems that involve proportions and comparison. With this easy-to-use formula, you will be able to quickly find the percentage of any value.

By learning how to use percentages, you will improve your math skills and be better prepared to work in real-world situations where percentages are important.
