Question

Say a stock has increased from $4.34 a share to $6.55 a share. How much would that be percentage-wise?

Answer 1

`50.92%` increase.

Explanation:

Calculate the percentage increase or percentage decrease in the same way.

Find the difference - whether increased or decreased.

Percent change = `"change"/"original value" xx 100%`

Change = `$6.55-$4.34 =$2.21`

`2.21/4.34 xx 100% = 50.92%` increase
