Calculate the relative percent change, from number 1.83 to 1.84 and the actual change (absolute difference)
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 = 1.84 - new value (the end value)
v1 = 1.83 - reference value (original, initial number)
/ - the fraction bar (division)
|v1| - the positive value of v1, |v1| >= 0
Example: if v1 = -10, |v1| = 10; 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:
(1.84 - 1.83)/|1.83| =
0.01/1.83 =
0.01 ÷ 1.83 =
0.01 ÷ 1.83 × 100/100 =
(0.01 × 100 ÷ 1.83)/100 =
(1 ÷ 1.83)/100 ≈
0.546448087432/100 =
0.546448087432% ≈
0.55%
(Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)
The relative percent change...
from the initial value 1.83 to the final value 1.84:
Rounded off to max. 12 decimal places ≈ 0.546448087432%
Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places ≈ 0.55%
The actual change
1.84 - 1.83 = 0.01
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.
