To calculate percent elongation with an equation:

[(final length - initial length) / initial length] x 100 = percent elongation

On a graph - To calculate percent elongation, draw a line to the x-axis from the point of fracture parallel to the straight line part of the graph. The extension at this point is then divided by the gauge length.
