Sometimes in our day to day we want to know about percentage in different ways for instance percentage increase or decrease or a percetange withing a percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For percentage increase this is where numbers can get a little complex and we may even try to use a calculator for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we do let’s lok at what the formula is and how it looks like on paper (ahum screen):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Find the Difference<\/strong>: Subtract the original value from the new value (New – Original).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Divide by Original<\/strong>: Divide the difference by the original value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Multiply by 100<\/strong>: Convert to a percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example<\/strong>: A price goes from $35 to $45.50. ($45.50 – $35) \/ $35 \\* 100 = 30% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is another example of how to get a percentage increase: Price increases from $5 to $15. We do 15 – 5 then divide by 5 and multiply by 100 or mathetmatically this looks like: (15 – 5) \/ 5 * 100. This equals to 200 or a 200% increase from 5 to 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do however want to keep a handy increase or decrease percentage calculator try ours on this page here<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
