% increases from 30 to 40 = ((New Value - old value)/old value)*100
% increases from 30 to 40 = %28%2840-30%29%2F30%29%2A100
% increases from 30 to 40 = %2810%2F30%29%2A100
% increases from 30 to 40 = 1000%2F30
% increases from 30 to 40 = 33.33



% decreases from 40 to 30 = ((old value-New value)/old value)*100
% decreases from 40 to 30 = %28%2840-30%29%2F40%29%2A100
% decreases from 40 to 30 = %2810%2F40%29%2A100
% decreases from 40 to 30 = 1000%2F40
% decreases from 40 to 30 = 25
