To find the year-over-year cash change percent using the provided financial data, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Relevant Data:
- Cash + Equivalents in 2021: \[tex]$434.8 million - Cash + Equivalents in 2020: \$[/tex]850.5 million

2. Calculate the Change in Cash + Equivalents:
- Cash change = Cash + Equivalents (2021) - Cash + Equivalents (2020)
- Cash change = \[tex]$434.8 million - \$[/tex]850.5 million
- Cash change = -\$415.7 million

3. Calculate the Percent Change:
- Percent change is calculated as [tex]\( \left( \frac{{\text{Cash change}}}{{\text{Cash + Equivalents (2020)}}} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- Percent change = [tex]\( \left( \frac{{-415.7}}{{850.5}} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- Percent change ≈ -48.87713109935332%

4. Round to the Nearest Decimal:
- Rounded percent change = -48.9%

Therefore, the year-over-year cash change percent is approximately -48.9%.
