To calculate percentage change (increase or decrease):
Calculate the difference between the two numbers being compared:
Difference = New Number - Original Number

Divide the difference by the original number and multiply the result by 100:
Percentage Change = Difference ÷ Original Number × 100
If the final answer is a negative number it is a percentage decrease, otherwise, it is a percentage increase.
