Work backward from a known percentage value to find the complete amount. Enter the known value and the percentage it represents.
The calculator converts the percentage to a decimal and divides the known value by that decimal. A percentage of zero cannot identify a finite original amount.
Percentage change uses the absolute original value as the denominator, so direction remains meaningful when values are negative. A positive result is an increase and a negative result is a decrease. Change from an original value of zero is undefined because division by zero has no finite percentage result.
