Percentage Change Examples

Example 1: What Is The Percentage Change From 40 To 60?

Using the formula,

$Percentage Change = (\frac{Final Value - Initial Value}{Initial Value}) \times 100 %$ ,

we have:

Initial Value = 40

Final Value = 60

We get

$Percentage Change = (\frac{60 - 40}{40}) \times 100 %$

Percentage change = 50%

$Percentage Change = (\frac{Final Value - Initial Value}{Initial Value}) \times 100 %$ ,

we have:

Initial Value = 80

Final Value = 100

We get

$Percentage Change = (\frac{100 - 80}{80}) \times 100 %$

Percentage change = 25%
