Frequently asked questions

Divide the difference by the original. Rising from 200 to 250 is 50 / 200 = 25%; falling back to 200 is only a 20% drop.
Going from 5% to 7% is a rise of 2 percentage points, but a 40% increase. Mixing the two is one of the most common reporting errors.
Divide the sale price by 1 minus the discount. A $64 item after 20% off was $64 / 0.8 = $80.
