(- 70.64 - (- 81.71)) / |- 81.71| × 100% = ? Calculate the Relative Percent Change From the Number - 81.71 (Original, Reference, Initial) to - 70.64 (New, End Value) and the Actual Change (Absolute Difference, Variation). Is the Change an Increase or a Decrease in Value (Number Goes Up or Down)?
The relative percent change, from - 81.71 to - 70.64 = ?
The relative change. Definition and Formula:
The relative change:
the difference in an indicator 'v' over two periods in time,
(v2 - v1),
relative to the value of the indicator in the earlier period, v1:
(v2 - v1) / |v1| = The actual change / |v1|
Legend:
v2 = - 70.64 - new value (the end value)
v1 = - 81.71 - reference value (original, initial number)
/ - the fraction bar (division)
|v1| - the positive value of v1, |v1| >= 0
Example: if v1 = -10, |v1| = 10
The actual change = v2 - v1
The relative percent change. Detailed calculations below
By multiplying a number by the fraction 100/100,
we change only the form of the result, not the result.
100/100 = 100% = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
n × 100/100 = (n × 100)/100 = (n × 100)%, any number.
The relative percent change. Formula:
The relative percent change =
The relative change × 100/100 =
(The relative change × 100)/100 =
(The relative change × 100)%
Calculate the relative percent change:
(- 70.64 - (- 81.71))/|- 81.71| =
(- 70.64 + 81.71)/|- 81.71| =
11.07/81.71 =
11.07 ÷ 81.71 =
11.07 ÷ 81.71 × 100/100 =
(11.07 × 100 ÷ 81.71)/100 =
(1,107 ÷ 81.71)/100 ≈
13.547913352099/100 =
13.547913352099% ≈
13.55%
(Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)
The relative percent change...
from the initial value - 81.71 to the final value - 70.64:
Rounded off to max. 12 decimal places ≈ 13.547913352099%
Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places ≈ 13.55%
The actual change
- 70.64 - (- 81.71) = - 70.64 + 81.71 = 11.07
The relative percent change is positive...
so in this case we have a relative percent increase.
(the number's value goes up)
The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same, |n| - the positive value of n, |n| >= 0. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.
