Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a discount?
Use “what is X% of Y” to find the discount amount, then subtract it from the original price.
What is percentage change?
It measures how much a value grew or shrank relative to its starting point: (new − old) ÷ old × 100.
Why can a decrease never exceed 100%?
A value can only drop to zero, which is a 100% decrease. Increases, however, can exceed 100%.
