How do I calculate the percentage difference between two percentages?

How do I calculate the percentage difference between two percentages? For example, I want to know the percentage difference between 7.4% and 8.1%.



Is it 0.7%, or is it more complicated?



Thank you in advance!How do I calculate the percentage difference between two percentages?
Depends on what you mean. The difference between 7.4% and 8.1% is indeed 0.7%. But the difference of the percentages IN percentages would be closer to 9.6%.How do I calculate the percentage difference between two percentages?
The newspaper is (somewhat unusually for them) correct. you have correctly identified that the difference is 0.7% however the percentage increase is 0.7% of 7.4% = 9.5%.approx.
