You added ^^ when you should have subtracted and taken the absolute value.

You're right, but my formula is correct

No, the formula is actually incorrect as well. http://virtual.mjc.edu/rlamont/aplia%20hints/change.bmp

Answer 6

\[\% \Delta = \frac{a - b}{a} \times 100 = \frac{|2.5a - 12.5|}{2.5} \times 100 = \frac{|-10|}{2.5} \times 100 = \frac{1000}{25} = 400\]

Answer 7

Nope, I just proved it is correct

Answer 8

That's what I had.

Answer 9

Trust me, the formula is correct. How do you explain getting the same exact answer?

Answer 10

If used correctly, the formula is correct.

Answer 11

Just saying that you derived the incorrect answer when you used it before.

Answer 12

You pointed out my error. I fixed it. Why are you still complaining?

Answer 13

Yes, I do. My message is that, for the good of us all, you should never engage in an endless round of finger pointing. You should never even try to do such an iniquitous thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never" I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that if one could get a Ph.D. in Colonialism, then and only then would you be the first in line to have one.

Answer 14

QUESTION CLOSED!!!

Answer 15

@brainshot3 , I have no idea what you are talking about. Who did I point a finger at?

Answer 16

The only thing I said was that my formula is correct. If I pointed a finger at someone, it was at myself. I even acknowledged that I made a mistake. I don't know what you want from me.

Answer 17

All opposition. You are trying to constate your belief by continuing to dither on such a trivial topic. Drop it.

Answer 18

I don't really believe you're in a position to tell me what to do, but okay.
