Hey Math Peeps, I was wondering on how to calculate the Percent Change?
By ELTOCCOMATHPRO-ELOPO-LOCO-WOW
If something decreases.....the "formula" is
([Old Value - New Value] / Old Value x 100)%
For example......something decreases from 10 to 8....so we have...
([10 - 8 ] / 10 x 100 )% =
(2 / 10 x 100)% =
(.20 x 100)% =
20% decrease
If something increases, we have
([New Value - Old Value ] / Old Value x 100)%
Let's say we have the opposite situation......something increases from 8 to 10 .....so we have
([10 - 8 ] / 8 x 100)% =
(2 / 8 x 100)% =
(.25 x 100)% =
25% increase
And there you are !!!
