Question

Can a percent of change be greater then 100% Explain.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes.  Percent of change is the amount of change divided by the initial value.

% of change = (final − initial) / initial × 100%

If the change is greater than the initial value, then the percent change is greater than 100%.

For example, if the price of something triples from $1 to $3, the percent of change is:

% of change = (3 − 1) / 1 × 100%

% of change = 200%
