To calculate the percent change between two numbers, you can use the following formula:

Percent Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

In this case, the old value is 86 and the new value is 80. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Percent Change = ((80 - 86) / 86) * 100

Simplifying this expression:

Percent Change = (-6 / 86) * 100

Calculating the division:

Percent Change = -0.0698 * 100

Multiplying by 100:

Percent Change = -6.98

Therefore, the percent change from 86 to 80 is approximately -6.98%.
