Question

How do i find the percent change from 70 to 56?

Answer 1

First: work out the difference (increase or decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide it by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

Answer 2

A change from 56 to 70 represents a positive change (increase) of 25%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = [(56 - 70) / 56] x 100 = 25 % (increase)

Where: 56 is the old value and 70 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 25 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.
