Next, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100: % increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100. If the answer is a negative number, that means the percentage change is a decrease.

['Find the absolute difference between two numbers: |20 - 30| = |-10| = 10.', 'Find the average of those two numbers: (20 + 30) / 2 = 50 / 2 = 25.', 'Divide the difference by the average: 10 / 25 = 0.4.', 'Express it as percentages: 0.4 * 100 = 40%']

Percent change = [(New-Old)]/Old] x 100% . So for your example your new percent change is 56 and your old percent is 70. If you see the values, I see a change from 70 (old) to 56 ( new ) as a decrease . Therefore using the Percent change formula : [(56-70)]/76]*100% = (-14/70)x 100% = -0.2 x 100% = - 20% .

Then we need to change this fraction into a decimal, and then into a percent. To find a percent increase or decrease, all we need to do is take the difference in amount and divide it by the original amount, which gives us a decimal. Then we multiply this by 100, which turns the decimal into a percent.
