Percent of Change

A little blurb about gambling has recently caught my eye in Newsweek. It says that gambling revenues dropped $1.78 billion this year, which is a 2.6% dip.

Your job:
1. Figure out how much the revenues were last year (original)
2. Figure out how much they are this year, after the 2.6% drop. (new)
Hint: Use the formula for percent of change. Remember that the original is 100%.
