To calculate the percent increase, we need to find the difference between the two numbers and then divide it by the original value. The difference between 2000 and 1250 is 750. To find the percent increase, we divide the difference by 1250 and multiply by 100. So the percent increase is (750 / 1250) * 100 = 60%.
Subtract the two numbers and divide by the oldest or beginning number and move the decimal to change to a percent. If it goes down it is decrease and up for increase.
To calculate the percent decrease from 765 to 153, you first need to find the difference between the two numbers: 765 - 153 = 612. Then, divide the difference by the original number (765) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage decrease: (612 / 765) * 100 ≈ 80%. Therefore, the percent decrease from 765 to 153 is approximately 80%.
The way I find percentages is: To find 17% I: Find 10 percent, Then half the 10 percent, to get 5 percent which makes 15%. Then find a 5th of the 5 % and double it to make 17%
If you want to find x percent of a number y then you need to calculate y*(x/100). It makes no difference whether y is a whole number or not.
