How do I calculate a percentage variance?

For example, last year's sales were $135,000. This year's sales are $75,000. How do I get the percentage variance. Thanks - need ASAP.How do I calculate a percentage variance?
Percent variance is (new-previous)/previous * 100



So:



(75,000-135,000)/135,000



-60,000/135,000 =- 0.444444



*100 = -44.4%



So the percent variance is -44.4%.
