What is the Percent Change Formula?
The percentage change formula is:
(\frac{(final-initial)}{initial})*100
It's straightforward to find the percentage change with a start and final value.
- Subtract the final number from the first number (this might result in a negative - that is fine)
- Divide the result by the initial number
- Multiply by 100
Percent Change Formula Example
Now, let's work an example.
If your initial number was 200 and your final number was 250, that's a 25% increase. Let's walk through the formula:
(\frac{250-200}{200})*100 \\ \frac{50}{200}*100\\.25*100=25\%
