Input: To calculate the percentage change from 70 to 56, we need to follow the below steps:
Step 1: Find the difference between the two numbers.
Difference = 70 - 56 = 14
Step 2: Divide the difference by the original number (70) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage change.
Percentage change = (14/70) x 100 = 20%
Step 3: Determine the direction of the change.
Since the output (56) is less than the input (70), the percentage change is a decrease of 20%.
Therefore, the percentage change from 70 to 56 is a decrease of 20%.
