Ok So say I had a 268 visitors in december and 162 in January...How do I figure out what the percentage decline was... and vice versa if there was a rise like instead of 162 in january there was 342 .
I'm trying to prepare a report and I really want it to come out nice... I'm just not that great with %. Any help would be great... or any website suggestions?
Thanks

268 - 162 = 106
Divide 162 by 268 to get percent
162 / 268 = 0.395522388
Multiply 0.395522388 by 100 and attach the % sign
0.395522388 x 100 = 39.55223881 %
The answer is 39.55 % decline
- - - - - - - - - - - -
342 - 268 = 74
Divide 74 by 268 to gert percent
74 / 268 = 0.276119403
Multiply 0.276119403 times 100 and attach the % sign
0.276119403 x 100 = 27.6119403
The answer is 27.61% increase

The percentage decline is computed as such:
in december you had 100% = 268
in january you had x% = 162
therefore
100/x = 268/162
x% = 162 * 100 / 268 = 60.44
So the percentage decline is 100 - x = 100 - 60.44 = 39.46% decline
If there was a rise use the same equation but plug in 342
100/x = 268/342
x% = 342 * 100 / 268 = 127.6%
So percentage increase is 27.6%

You take the difference in visitors and divide it by the first number. So, in January, it would be -106/268 for a decline of 39.5%. If it had been 342, then it would be 74/268 for a 27.6% increase. Hope this helps.

the pertage decline is =268-162=(106/268)*100 since you are looking at what was before
=39.55%
if it was increase then 342-268= (74/268)*100 =27.61%

subtract 268-162=106
divide 106/268=approximately 39.56% fall
subtract 342-268=54
divide 54/342=app. 15.79% rise

ok, shall we are saying she paid 'x' for the workstation. She bought the workstation for a earnings of 25%. or, x + 25% of x = 60 or, x + (25/a hundred)* x = 60 or, x + (a million/4) * x = 60 or, x (a million + a million/4) = 60 or, x (5/4) = 60 or, x = 60 * 4 / 5 as a result, x = 40 8 So, Chrissie paid £40 8 for the workstation! :)

(162-268)/268 = -39.552%

Since everyone else gave you the answer then i will give you the website. I website i use and it is really good is http://purplemath.com
it is good you have to navigate through it to get use to it but you can take quizes and stuff online and it is the bomb. I like it. Well this answer definitely won't be the best but that's okay.

The answer is 27.61% increase.
PS: 74%90=66.6 to do that you can do 75%90 and then subtract 1%90 from the answer to 75%90. :)

The formula for percentage change is (v1-v2)/v1
where v1 = visitors in first month
and v2 = visitors in second month
