Question

Sorry for this question guys.

Answer 1

change from 17 to -8
What is the percentage increase.

Answer 2

would it be 68% ?

Answer 3

That would be a decrease, and it does't sound possible unless the percent is above 100? I'm just guessing here . . .

Answer 4

I saw where I would have to find this change in terms of percentage, and it seemed really wierd the 1st time in my life I saw this.

Answer 5

\[CHANGE~~~~~~17-8=25~~~~~~i t's~~~~-25\]\[17/25~\times~100=68%\]am I right?

Answer 6

17 - 8 = 9

Answer 7

but it goes -25 points/units/whatever down, or to the negative direction.
