Subtract the original value from the new value, divide the result by the original value, then multiply by 100. A positive result indicates an increase, while a negative result indicates a decrease.
What happens if the original value is zero?
The calculator reports that percentage change is undefined when the original value is zero, as division by zero is not possible.
Can the result show a decrease as well as an increase?
Yes, a negative percentage result means the new value is lower than the original, indicating a percentage decrease.
