	An increase/decrease in profit		2012-03-13
		From Thanikasalam: It is understood that increase/decrease in profit for current year compared to the previous year is done by the formula (x-y)/y, with x=profit on current year and y=profit on previous year. How do we derive this formula? If we work on this formula of calculating increase/decrease in profit, we get x/y-1 * = (x-y)/y = x/y - y/y = x/y - 1 How do you justify the 1 in the equation above. How to derive the formula and how do i prove it? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Price increases and decreases		2009-09-02
		From craig: I work for an industry that bases it price increases and decreases on commodity pricing - Customer get confused on how/why we calculated new prices due to movement in the market - Price go up x% for every $10 of movement in the market - For this example- Movement went down by $30 and it is 2% for every $10 - so price decrease was 6%. Customer's price is currently $100. We say - $100/1.06= new price of $94.3 Customer says - $100*.94= new price of $94. They don't understand that if board went back up $30 which would be 6% increase, they wouldn't be back at $100 if they multiplied on the price decrease. $94*1.06=$99.64 vs. $94.3*1.06=$100 (Back to the original price) What is the best way to explain to customer besides using this example? Any help or info is appreciated. Craig Answered by Victoria West.

	Plotting percentage change		2006-10-11
		From Beckie: I have worked out a set of percentage differences which are all percentage decrease. Should i express them as a negative percentage as -20%? I also need to plot them on a graph and am not sure whether to just use the percentage difference as it is, in which case i get a positive gradient, or include a negative axis and plot them in this way, in which case i would get a negative gradient. I think the slope of the curve will be the same either way so it might not matter! Answered by Penny.

		From Sara: I wish to create a pattern to knit an item that will then be felted, thus, shrink as a result. In order to determine the proper gauge to use in creating the item, I produced a gauge swatch, noted the original properties and then the post-felting properties. They are as follow: Before Felting: 20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height)yielded: Gauge: 3.2 stitches(width) and 4 rows(height) = 1" Dimensions: 6.25"(width) x 5.25"(height) After Felting: 20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height) Dimensions: 4"(width) x 3"(height) How do I calculate the percentage change in size to accurately determine the number of stitches and rows needed to produce the desired dimensions for the finished (felted) item?

	Percentage difference		2002-03-08
		From Tedd: Can you give me the formulas for calculating percentage differences between two numbers? For example: if the first number is 10 and the second number is 15, then the second number is 50% larger than the first number. However, the formula to calculate that percentage won't work if the first number is greater than the second number as in the following example: The first number is 15 and the second number is 10, with the second number being 33.3% less than the first number. Or maybe I'm mistaken and the same formula will work in both situations. Answered by Penny Nom.
