Answers & Comments
Answer:
A.) Percent of Change = (Amount of Change) ÷ (Original Quantity) × 100
Step-by-step explanation:
How do we calculate this percentage increase or decrease? We first calculate the first total and then compare it to the second total. For example, if we analyze the change in sales from one year to the next, our first total will be the one year's sales, and our second total will be the following year's sales. We then determine if there is an increase or decrease happening. For example, we increase if the second total is greater than the first, and we decrease if the second total is lower than the first.
Once we have determined whether the change is an increase or decrease, we then calculate how much the difference is by subtracting the lesser from the greater. We then divide it by the first total. To find the percentage, we then multiply by 100.
We can write a simple formula for the percentage increase or decrease. We can say that the percentage increase or decrease is (the increase or decrease) / (first total) * 100.
I hope this helps you understand this concept in Mathematics.
Stay safe, po.
