1) Find the amount of change.
2) Divide by the original amount.
3) Multiply that answer by 100.
Example: What is the percent of change of something that started at 324 and ended at 402?
1) Amount of change: 402 - 324 = 78
2) Divide that answer by the original number: 78 / 324 = 0.241 (approximately)
3) Multiply that answer by 100: 0.241 x 100 = 24.1%
