How do you find percentages?
DochEvi [55]
To calculate percentage increase, use the following method:

First, Work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number

Now, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

Also, If your answer is a negative number it is a percentage decrease.


To calculate percentage decrease, use this method:

First, Work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Decrease = Original Number - New Number

Then, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100

Also, If your answer is a negative number then it is a percentage increase. 

<span>If you wish to calculate the percentage increase or decrease of several numbers then I recommend using the first formula.  Positive values indicate a percentage increase whereas negative values indicate percentage decrease.</span>
