What to Focus On

  • Percentage literally means 'per hundred' or 'out of 100'
  • Formula: Percentage = (Part/Whole) × 100
  • The base or denominator is always essential for percentage calculations

  • Formula: % Change = ((New - Old) / Old) × 100
  • Always use the original value as the base for calculation
  • Percentage increase: when new value > original value

  • Each change is applied to the result of the previous change
  • Formula for two changes: Net change = a + b + (ab/100)
  • Order of changes doesn't matter for the final result

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If A is 20% more than B, then B is 20% less than A

Two successive changes of +10% and -10% result in no net change

Percentage increase in product equals sum of individual percentage increases
