What is the difference between the operations in percent increase and percent decrease?
The difference depends on the given numbers. For example:
The % increase from 2 to 7 is computed as:
7-2=5
5/2=2.5
2.5 converted into percent = 2.5 * 100 = 250%
Verification: 2+2*2.5=7
The % decrease from 7 to 2 is computed as:
7-2=5
5/7=~0.714
~0.714 converted into percent = 0.714 * 100 = ~71.4%
Verification: 7-7*~.7142=2
The difference between 2.5 and ~0.714 = 2.5-~0.714 = ~1.79
Note: The above use of the symbol "~" means "approximately".
