this is a $- 5 %$ $-5%$ change.

Explanation:

The formula to measure the percent changed is:

$p = \frac{N - O}{O} \cdot 100 %$ $p = (N - O)/O*100%$ where $p$ $p$ is the percent change, $N$ $N$ is the New value and $O$ $O$ is the Old value. We are given the Old value (132) and the New value (125.4) which we can substitute into the formula to calculate the percent change:

$p = \frac{125.4 - 132}{132} \cdot 100 %$ $p = (125.4 - 132)/132*100%$

$p = - \frac{6.6}{132} \cdot 100 %$ $p = -6.6/132*100%$

$p = (- \frac{660}{132}) %$ $p = (-660/132)%$

$p = - 5 %$ $p = -5%$
