How to find the percentage change.
The percentage change is when we know the initial value and the final value and we need to find the percentage increase or decrease.
We have created a support page to help you understand how to find the percentage change.
There are some worked examples and clear step-by-step instructions on this page.
- How to Calculate Percentage Change
How to Find the Percentage Increase & Decrease
If we know the initial amount, and we need to find the final amount after a percentage increase or decrease, we just need to follow these two simple steps:
- Step 1) Work out the percentage of the original amount.
- Step 2a) If it is a percentage increase , then add this amount to the original amount.
- Step 2b) If it is a percentage decrease , then subtract this amount from the original amount.
We have now found our final amount after the percentage increase or decrease.
Percentage Increase and Decrease Worked Examples
Example 1) a laptop usually costs $750. it is reduced by 15% in a sale. what is the sale price.
Step 1) Work out the percentage.
15% of $750 = $112.50
Step 2) Subtract the amount from the original price.
$750 - $112.50 = $637.50
The sale price of the laptop is $637.50.
Example 2) I have $6000 which I leave in a savings account for a year. The interest rate is 3%. How much money will I have at the end of a year?
3% of $6000 = $180
Step 2) Add the amount to the original price.
$6000 + $180 = $6180
At the end of a year, I have $6180.
Example 3) A bag of rice weighs 40 ounces. A larger bag weighs 35% more. How much does the larger bag weigh?
35% of 40 = 14
40 + 14 = 54
The larger bag weighs 54 ounces.
Example 3) An uncut version of a film lasts 150 minutes. The released version lasts 18% less time. How long does the released version last?
18% of 150 = 27
150 - 27 = 123
The released version lasts 123 minutes.
