    Percentage change is calculated by taking the difference between the new and original values and expressing it as a percentage of the original value. It can be used to calculate both increases and decreases. Some key points: 1) Percentage change is found by taking the difference between the new and original values and dividing it by the original value, then multiplying by 100. 2) Examples are provided to calculate percentage increases, such as a printer increasing from £80 to £100 (25% increase). 3) Percentage decreases are also calculated using the same formula, such as a car decreasing in cost from £39,500 to £33,000 (16.5% decrease).
