Subtract the original number from the new number, divide the result by the original number, and multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage. Positive outcomes indicate an increase, while negative outcomes indicate a decrease. Worked examples cover price reductions, gas usage loss, profit on resale, and temperature rise, producing final percentage answers such as -20%, -37.5%, 18.75%, and 108.3%.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/how-to-work-out-percentage-change-follow-these-3-simple-steps-to-find-the-percentage-change-between-2-numbers/635541/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/how-to-work-out-percentage-change-follow-these-3-simple-steps-to-find-the-percentage-change-between-2-numbers/635541.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Cipher","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How do you calculate percentage change between two numbers?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Subtract the original from the new, divide by the original, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What does a positive percentage change mean?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"A positive result means the percentage increase, where the new number is larger than the original.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What does a negative percentage change mean?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"A negative result means the percentage decrease, where the new number is lower than the original.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},635541,1792877181,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81},687208528416,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","HOW TO WORK OUT PERCENTAGE CHANGE  \nFollow these 3 simple steps to find the percentage change between 2 numbers.  \n➢ Step 1) Subtract the original number from the new number.  \n➢ Step 2) Divide this number by the original number.  \n➢ Step 3) Multiply this answer by 100 to convert to a percentage.  \n• This gives you the percentage change.  \n• If this final answer is positive, you have a percentage increase, where the new number is larger than the original number.  \n• If this final answer is negative, then you have a percentage decrease, where the new number is lower than the original number.  \nExample 1  \nA toy normally costs $450. It is sold for $360 in a sale. Find the percentage change.  \nStep 1) New number – original number  \n360 – 450 = -90  \nStep 2) Divide by original number  \n-90 ÷ 450 = -0.2  \nStep 3) Multiply by 100  \n-0.2 x 100 = -20% Answer:  \nThe percentage change is-20% .  \nExample 3  \nSally fills her car with 12 gallons of gas. She goes on a journey and ends up with just 7.5 gallons left in the tank.  \nWhat is the percentage change?  \nStep 1) New number – original number  \n7.5 – 12 = -4.5  \nStep 2) Divide by original number  \n-4.5 ÷ 12 = -0.375 Step 3) Multiply by 100  \n-0.375 x 100 = -37.5% Answer:  \nThe percentage change is-37.5% .  \nShe finished the journey with 37.5% less gas than when she started.  \nExample 2  \nTyger buys a car for $3200. He renovates it and eventually sell it for $3800. Work out the percentage increase he sold the car for.  \nStep 1) New number – original number 3800 – 3200 = 600  \nStep 2) Divide by original number  \n600 ÷ 3200 = 0.1875 Step 3) Multiply by 100  \n0.1875 x 100 = 18.75% Answer:  \nHe sold the car for 18.75% more than he paid for it.  \nExample 4  \nOn a winter’s day the temperature starts off at 24°F.
