How to increase the number 15.96 by - 24% of its value?
Value of Percentage Increase. New Value

A percentage value is nothing but a fraction with a denominator of 100:
- 24% = ^{- 24}/₁₀₀ = - 24 ÷ 100 = - 0.24
...
To increase a positive number add the 'Value of Percentage Increase' to it.
To increase a negative number, don't add to it, but subtract from it the 'Value of Percentage Increase'.
...

Value of Percentage Increase =
Percentage of the Increase % × The original value =
- 24% × 15.96
...
New Value =
The original value + Value of Percentage Increase =
15.96 + - 24% × 15.96

1. Calculate the New Value of the number...
... increased by percentage of its initial value

New Value =

15.96 + Value of Percentage Increase =

15.96 + (- 24% × 15.96) =

15.96 - 24% × 15.96 =

(1 - 24%) × 15.96 =

(100% - 24%) × 15.96 =

76% × 15.96 =

76 ÷ 100 × 15.96 =

76 × 15.96 ÷ 100 =

1,212.96 ÷ 100 =

12.1296 ≈

12.13
(Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)

2. Calculate the Actual Change (Absolute Difference)...
... between the New Value and the initial one

Actual Change =

New Value - 15.96 =

12.1296 - 15.96 =

- 3.8304 ≈

(Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)
- 3.83

15.96 increased by - 24% of the value = 12.1296
The actual change:
12.1296 - 15.96 = - 3.8304

Rounded off to max. 2 decimal places
15.96 increased by - 24% of the value ≈ 12.13
The actual change:
12.13 - 15.96 ≈ - 3.83

The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.

Increase numbers by percentage of their initial value and calculate the absolute percentage change (difference). Examples

How to calculate the new value of a number when increasing it by percentage of its initial value and how to calculate the absolute percentage change (difference)?

New value = Initial value + Absolute percentage change (difference)
Absolute percentage change (difference) = Percentage increase % × Initial value
=> New value = Initial value + Percentage increase % × Initial value = (1 + Percentage increase %) × Initial value
In conclusion:
New value = (1 + Percentage increase %) × Initial value
Initial value = New value / (1 + Percentage increase %)
Absolute percentage change (difference) = Percentage increase % × Initial value = New value - Initial value

Four examples of calculations below.

How to increase a number by percentage of its initial value (percentage increase).
How to calculate the absolute percentage change (difference):

Example 1:

If Percentage increase % = 20%, (1 + Percentage increase %) = 1 + 20% = 100/100 + 20/100 = 120/100 = 1.20 =>
Number increased by value percentage = 1.20 × Initial value, and Initial value = Number increased by value percentage / 1.20; Absolute percentage change = New value - Initial value;

Example 2:

If Percentage increase % = 5%, (1 + Percentage increase %) = 1 + 5% = 100/100 + 5/100 = 105/100 = 1.05 =>
Number increased by value percentage = 1.05 × Initial value, and Initial value = Number increased by value percentage / 1.05; Absolute percentage change = New value - Initial value;

Example 3:

If Percentage increase % = 124%, (1 + Percentage increase %) = 1 + 124% = 100/100 + 124/100 = 224/100 = 2.24 =>
Number increased by value percentage = 2.24 × Initial value, and Initial value = Number increased by value percentage / 2.24; Absolute percentage change = New value - Initial value;

Example 4:

If Percentage increase % = -8%, (1 + Percentage increase %) = 1 - 8% = 100/100 - 8/100 = 92/100 = 0.92 =>
Number increased by value percentage = 0.92 × Initial value, and Initial value = Number increased by value percentage / 0.92; in this case we have in fact a decreasing of the value of the number; Absolute percentage change = New value - Initial value.
