1. The problem asks for the percent of change from 5 to 1.
2. The formula for percent change is:
$$\text{Percent Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100\%$$
3. Substitute the values: old value = 5, new value = 1.
$$\text{Percent Change} = \frac{1 - 5}{5} \times 100\% = \frac{-4}{5} \times 100\%$$
4. Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{-4}{5} = -\frac{4}{5}$$
5. Calculate the percentage:
$$-\frac{4}{5} \times 100\% = -80\%$$
6. A negative percent change means a decrease.
7. Therefore, the percent of change from 5 to 1 is an 80% decrease.
