Percentage growth from 279 to 257 is Negative growth. Noting that you can tackle the problem anyway you want using 'subtraction' and the percentages (parts of 100)formula i.e % growth = ( (Final amount- Initial amount) / Initial Amount ) x 100 Therefore, Initial amount = 279, final amount is 257 257 - 279 = -22 (-22/ 279) x 100 = - 5.805 (3 decimal approx) - EK
