To calculate
the percentage increase between any two months:
 |
Subtract the
figure for the earlier month from the later month. |
|
Divide that
figure by the figure for the earlier month. |
|
Multiply the
resulting figure by 100. |
Example:
((Dec93-Dec92)/Dec92) x100 = % of change
((145.8-141.9)/141.9) x100 = 2.7%
