what is the percent change from 1.8 to 2.4?

Question

i need to know the increase and the decrease.

Answer 1

Take the ratio of the new number to the old number, subtract 1 from the ratio, and multiply the result by 100.  That is the percent change:

 

Percent change = 100 [(2.4 / 1.8) - 1] ≅ 33.3%

 

Since the final result is positive, it is an increase of 33.3%. 

 

 

Answer 2

The percentage increase = [(2.4 - 1.8) / 1.8] * 100%

 

                                    = 33.33 %
