How can i calculate the percentage weight change? (NOT HARD) SO SIMPLE?

weight before is 1,76 grams and weight after is 2.01 grams. I need to calculate the percentage of mass change. for example, the original mass increased by 5 percent. Something like that. ThanksHow can i calculate the percentage weight change? (NOT HARD) SO SIMPLE?
Well, 2.01 * 100% = 201

201 / 1.76 = 114.20

114.20% - 100% = 14.2%

So, mass increased by 14%
( 2.01 - 1.76 ) / 1.76 = fraction of change



fraction of change * 100% = percent changeHow can i calculate the percentage weight change? (NOT HARD) SO SIMPLE?
2.01/1.76 * 100 gives percentage relative to the start, eg 150% of starting value; if you want percentage increase then subtract 100
change = (2.01 - 1.76)/1.76 = 0.142



% change divide the above result by 100. = 14.2%How can i calculate the percentage weight change? (NOT HARD) SO SIMPLE?
Percent of change is equal to new over old. That's a good thing to get in your head, you will understand it after memorizing it. It's one of the few things that worked that way for me. If you can't remember it, just try to see whether the item gained or lost whatever we're talking about (in this case, weight) and put the appropriate one over the other



2.01/1.76=114.2%
