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.
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.
