Example
The price of a kilo of rice went from 10$ to12.5$, what is the percentage change?
Explanation
• The old value of sugar = $ 10
• New value = $12.5
• Now apply the percent change formula;
• Percentage change = [(New Value − Old Value)/ Old Value] ×100%
= [(12.5 -10)/10] x 100%
= (2.5/10) x 100%
= 25%
In this case, the percent change is positive and therefore, it is an increase.
