Step-by-Step Worked Example

Scenario: Calculate 20% of 150.

  1. Convert percentage to decimal: 20 / 100 = 0.20.
  2. Multiply by base value: 0.20 * 150 = 30.
  3. Value increased by 20%: 150 + 30 = 180.
  4. Value decreased by 20%: 150 - 30 = 120.

Result: 20% of 150 = 30

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate percentage change?

Subtract the original value from the new value, divide by the absolute value of the original, then multiply by 100. Formula: ((New - Old) / Old) * 100.
