A denarius was one day's pay, so 100 denarii was equal to 100 day's pay.
In Luke 10:35 the good samaritan paid the inn keeper with two denarii. A denarius (Greek) was a small silver being the equivalent of a full day's wage. The Bible refers to the denarius as a day's wage for a common laborer (Matthew 20:2). Classical historians regularly say that in the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire the daily wage for an unskilled laborer and common soldier was 1 denarius without tax, or about US$20 in bread. By this estimate 100 denarii is about $2000 USD in modern times.
The absolute value of -100 (|-100|) is 100.
% increase = 100%%increase=|original value - new value|/original value * 100%=|3 - 6|/3 * 100%=3/3 * 100%= 1 * 100%= 100%
% change = 10.71% % change = |original value - new value|/original value * 100% = |112 - 100|/112 * 100% = 12/112 * 100% = 0.1071 * 100% = 10.71%
