Percentage Calculator Description
Understanding Percentages
- A percentage is a ratio expressed per hundred.
- Commonly used to convey proportions and relative changes.
Core Formulas
Percentage Change (%) = ((New - Original) / Original) × 100
Part-to-Total (%) = (Part / Total) × 100
Original Value Before Change = New / (1 + (Rate / 100))
Pro Tip: Always convert percentage rates to decimal form before plugging into formulas to ensure accuracy.
Mini Case Studies
- Stock Price Movement: Share price rises from $50 to $58.25 yields ((58.25-50)/50)×100 = 16.5%.
- Solution Concentration: 2 g solute in 50 g total gives (2/50)×100 = 4% concentration.
Edge-Case Considerations
- Original Zero Value: Division by zero makes percentage change undefined.
- Negative Inputs: Supports negatives; results indicate direction and magnitude.
- Over-100% Decrease: A drop from 100 to -50 yields -150%, indicating overshoot past zero.
- Precision Limits: Very small or precise values may require rounding to mitigate floating-point errors.
- Reverse Calculations: Use the inverse formula to recover original values before change.
