Percentage changes are ubiquitous in daily life, from price hikes to interest rate drops. To calculate a percentage increase, use the formula: [(New Value – Original Value) ÷ Original Value] × 100%. For instance, if a product’s price rose from ₹200 to ₹240, the increase is (240 – 200) = 40, and dividing by 200 yields 0.20, or a 20% increase. Conversely, percentage decrease follows the same formula but indicates a reduction in value. For example, if a ₹300 item drops to ₹225, the change is (225 – 300) = –75, and –75 ÷ 300 = –0.25, or a 25% decrease. Understanding percentage changes enables you to track stock performances, budget effectively, and compare year-on-year business growth. Frequent practice in real scenarios like monthly bills or commodity prices refines this essential skill.
