An increase/decrease in profit 2012-03-13
Thanikasalam pose la question :
It is understood that increase/decrease in profit for current year compared to the previous year is done by the formula (x-y)/y, with x=profit on current year and y=profit on previous year. How do we derive this formula?

If we work on this formula of calculating increase/decrease in profit, we get x/y-1

* = (x-y)/y
= x/y - y/y
= x/y - 1

How do you justify the 1 in the equation above. How to derive the formula and how do i prove it?

Price increases and decreases 2009-09-02
craig pose la question :
I work for an industry that bases it price increases and decreases on commodity pricing - Customer get confused on how/why we calculated new prices due to movement in the market - Price go up x% for every $10 of movement in the market -

For this example-
Movement went down by $30 and it is 2% for every $10 - so price decrease was 6%.
Customer's price is currently $100.
We say - $100/1.06= new price of $94.3
Customer says - $100*.94= new price of $94.

They don't understand that if board went back up $30 which would be 6% increase, they wouldn't be back at $100 if they multiplied on the price decrease.
$94*1.06=$99.64 vs. $94.3*1.06=$100 (Back to the original price)

What is the best way to explain to customer besides using this example?

Any help or info is appreciated.

Anna pose la question :
I just want to if the following formula is used for the computation of a PERCENTAGE DECREASE:

Old Value - New Value/ Old Value x 100%

My immediate superior is under the impression that the said formula works ONLY for the computation of a percentage INCREASE. He believes that the formula for a percentage DECREASE:

Old Value - New Value/ NEW Value x 100%

On this score, I want to know the correct formula for the computation of percentage decrease. Thank you so much.

Plotting percentage change 2006-10-11
Beckie pose la question :
I have worked out a set of percentage differences which are all percentage decrease. Should i express them as a negative percentage as -20%? I also need to plot them on a graph and am not sure whether to just use the percentage difference as it is, in which case i get a positive gradient, or include a negative axis and plot them in this way, in which case i would get a negative gradient. I think the slope of the curve will be the same either way so it might not matter!

Knitting gauge and felting 2003-10-27
Sara pose la question :

I wish to create a pattern to knit an item that will then be felted, thus, shrink as a result. In order to determine the proper gauge to use in creating the item, I produced a gauge swatch, noted the original properties and then the post-felting properties. They are as follow:

Before Felting:

20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height)yielded:
Gauge: 3.2 stitches(width) and 4 rows(height) = 1"
Dimensions: 6.25"(width) x 5.25"(height)

After Felting:

20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height)
Dimensions: 4"(width) x 3"(height)

How do I calculate the percentage change in size to accurately determine the number of stitches and rows needed to produce the desired dimensions for the finished (felted) item?

Percentage difference 2002-03-08
Tedd pose la question :
Can you give me the formulas for calculating percentage differences between two numbers? For example: if the first number is 10 and the second number is 15, then the second number is 50% larger than the first number. However, the formula to calculate that percentage won't work if the first number is greater than the second number as in the following example: The first number is 15 and the second number is 10, with the second number being 33.3% less than the first number. Or maybe I'm mistaken and the same formula will work in both situations.
