take the new price then subtract the old price and then divide that number by the new price - you will have the percentage figure

Flixy actually has the correct answer
Say the NP is 10, and the OP is 8
We know that the price went up 2, and 2 is 25% of 8.
If you put that in to an equation
(10-8)/8 or 2/8 or 25%. Flixy added *100 on to get a non decimal solution (in other words the answer would be 25 instead of .25)
Using the other posted solution is actually giving you the percent of decrease.
