Percentage Change: is calculated by dividing the change with original and multiplying with 100
Here are two ways to calculate a percentage change, use the one you prefer:
Method 1:
Step 1: Calculate the change (subtract old value from the new value) |
Step 2: Divide that change by the old value (you will get a decimal number) |
Step 3: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign) |
Note: when the new value is greater then the old value, it is a percentage increase, otherwise it is a decrease. |
Method 2:
Step 1: Divide the New Value by the Old Value (you will get a decimal number) |
Step 2: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign) |
