When the new amount is less than the original amount, the percent of change is negative. This indicates a decrease, which is calculated by taking the difference between the original amount and the new amount, dividing it by the original amount, and then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage. For example, if the original amount is 100 and the new amount is 80, the percent change would be -20%.
To determine the increase or decrease from the original amount, you first need to calculate the difference between the new amount and the original amount. If the new amount is greater, it's an increase, and you can express it as a percentage of the original amount. Conversely, if the new amount is less, it's a decrease, which can also be represented as a percentage of the original amount. For precise calculations, specific numbers are needed.
new amount minus original amount over original amount
(New amount - Original amt) / Original amount = loss percentage. saurabh K.

First you subtract the new number from the original number then divide it by the original number and multiply that by 100 original-new __________*100 original
I would take the equation to calculate the new amount, and solve it for the original amount.
new amount minus original amount over original amount
percent increase=(new amount-original amount) _____________________ original amount
(New amount - Original amt) / Original amount = loss percentage. saurabh K.
I think you subtract the new amount from the original amount and then move the decimal over twice to the right of the number and that's your percent. :)

Percent Decrease = (Original Amount - New Amount)/(Original Amount) * 100% The percent decrease from 220 to 33 is 85%
28.57% decrease.
%=New amount-original amount/original amount X 100 ex: New amount=200 original amount=120 200-120=80 80/200=.4 X 100=40 but it just tells you to round to the nearest tenth most of the time so its 40 answer=40
% increase = |original value - new value| /original value * 100% = |1.61 - 3.16| /1.61 * 100% = 1.55 /1.61 * 100% = 0.9627 * 100% = 96.27%
