Let say If you want to calculate the percentage increase in sales then the formula will be
For Example if
New Sales = 100
Old Sales = 50 then
percentage increase = ?
percentage increase = (100-50)/50 *100
= (50/50) X 100
= 1(100)
= 100%
Percent change = { [ (New sales) - (Old sales) ] / (Old sales) } x (100)
For Example if
New Sales = 100
Old Sales = 50 then
percentage increase = ?
percentage increase = (100-50)/50 *100
= (50/50) X 100
= 1(100)
= 100%
