The formula for percent change is:
\n" ); document.write( "%-change = ((end - start)/start)*100.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the formula for both markup and mark down.
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "From the problem, we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2824-10%29%2F24%29%2A100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"100%2A%2814%2F24%29\" = 58.33%
\n" ); document.write( "
