Percent Change!
It is a percentage change - unless the increase changes a negative number to a positive number or a decrease does the opposite.
Yes, the methods for finding both percent of decrease and percent of increase are similar. For both, you calculate the difference between the original value and the new value, then divide that difference by the original value. However, for percent of increase, you use the formula ((\text{New Value} - \text{Original Value}) / \text{Original Value} \times 100%), while for percent of decrease, you use ((\text{Original Value} - \text{New Value}) / \text{Original Value} \times 100%). The key difference lies in the direction of the change.
An increase of 12.5%
It is called rate of change.

% change is the % of increase or % of decrease. % change = (difference of the two values / the original value) x 100% =[(original value - new value)/original value] x 100% % increase -if the value increased % decrease -if the value decreased
Whether the change is an increase or decrease . . . -- Divide the new number by the original number. -- Multiply the result by 100. -- Subtract 100. -- Now you have the percent of change.
