Answer:
The rate of decline is approximately 48.49 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The original price of each share = $ 196,
Also, the new price of each share = $ 132,
Thus, the rate of change = [tex]\frac{\text{New price - Original price}}{\text{Original price}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{132-196}{132}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-6400}{132}[/tex]
[tex]=-48.4848[/tex]
[tex]\approx -48.49\%[/tex]
Negative sign of change percentage shows the decline.
Hence, the rate of decline would be approximately 48.49 %.
