Percentage Change

The percentage change is a measure of the relative change between two values. It is often used in mathematics, finance, and other fields to express how much a quantity has increased or decreased in percentage terms.

The formula for calculating the percentage change between two values

Percentage Change=(B−A / A) ×100

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
1. Find the difference between the new value (B) and the original value (A): B−A
2. Divide the result by the absolute value of the original value (A)
3. Multiply the quotient by 100 to express the result as a percentage

If the result is positive, it indicates an increase, and if it's negative, it indicates a decrease.
