How do u calculate percentage change?

[Majin Boo]

Say I have

Forcasted Sales - Acual Sales =Diference
$5000 - $3200 = $1800

How would I calculate the parcentage change of the difference over the forcasted sales?

I completely forgot which formula to use.

I'm not giving you the answers to your homework.

Alternatively, sleep with a girl....

Yup.

 

[Majin Boo]

nm, got it, its not for homework, Im sorting all the stuff I sell right now.

 

[Cyrusbales]

5000/100=50

50*64=3200

3200 is 64% of 5000.....

 

[Badger]

69 is the answer, or is it 42?

Figure it out your damn self.

Edit: Or, what he said.

With some of the questions posed at times, I'm convinced some people think the Hype is the only website in existence.

How do u calculate percentage change?

By doing math

beside her?

 

[Carcharodon]

% Change would be, in this case:

(Actual - Expected) / Expected

Therefore:

(3200 - 5000) / 5000

-1800 / 5000 = -36%

negative?

 

[Carcharodon]

negative?

Uh...yeah. He ended up with less than projected....that's what we like to call a, "negative," in math.

 

[Master Chief]

Oh sweet juice math rules.

 

[Badger]

negative?

I imagine you have smoke billowing from your ears, yes/no?

 

[Carcharodon]

I really wish I could have continued it. I don't need any more math, and my class-schedule really won't allow for it. I had to stop after infinite series' and sequences (Calculus).

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Count,round it off,or use percent,estimate.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I avoid this by never forecasting sales. There may be a 9/11, or you may have a fire.
If I sell something, then I sold it.

 

[Scarlet spidey]

Actual / forecast - 1 = percent?

 

[Mee]

Wilhelm would make a right good philosopher.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

...also, we should all have our teeth extracted and only eat porridge and yogurt.
We'd have no more dentist bills for the rest of our lives.

 

[Mee]

And we can stop walking so we never stub our toes!

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Floating toothlessly in personal helium suits, never making sales forecasts

I wish I got into it earlier. I tossed my grade 9 math class, then grudgingly got through that class again and did 10, now I'm in my senior year and taking 11 math and holy frik I love it all of a sudden, Not cool.

Actual / forecast - 1 = percent?

That's also correct, yes.
