What is the percent of change from 100,000 to 10,000?

- - To change from 100,000 to 10,000 the quantity is reduced by 90,000.

- - 90,000 (the reduction) is 90% of the original 100,000.

- - So the original quantity is reduced by 90%.

So assuming 100000 is 100% then treat as fraction

change=100000-10000=90000

so the change=90000/100000

90000/100000 simplfies to 9/10

percent means parts out of 100 so

9/10 times 10/10=90/100=90%

so percnet change=90%
