percent change
Relative numerical shift
Percent change measures how much a quantity has increased or decreased relative to its starting value, expressed as a percentage.
A stock rising from $50 to $60 shows a 20 percent change.
The calculation divides the difference between old and new values by the original: What's the percent change in enrollment from last year?
