In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).
[0; 4, 4, 8, 16, 18, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 6, 2, 9, 58, 1, 3, 4, …] [OEIS 100] Computed up to 1 011 597 392 terms by E. Weisstein. He also noted that while the Champernowne constant continued fraction contains sporadic large terms, the continued fraction of the Copeland–Erdős Constant do not exhibit this property. [Mw 85]
English style guides prescribe writing the percent sign following the number without any space between (e.g. 50%). [sources 1] However, the International System of Units and ISO 31-0 standard prescribe a space between the number and percent sign, [8] [9] [10] in line with the general practice of using a non-breaking space between a numerical value and its corresponding unit of measurement.
A percentage change is a way to express a change in a variable. It represents the relative change between the old value and the new one. [6]For example, if a house is worth $100,000 today and the year after its value goes up to $110,000, the percentage change of its value can be expressed as = = %.
A percentage point or percent point is the unit for the arithmetic difference between two percentages. For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same).

If you borrowed $20,000 with a 60-month personal loan at a 9% interest rate, you’d repay roughly $24,900 — or $4,900 in interest over the life of your loan.
In the United Kingdom, proof is 1.75 times the number (expressed as a percentage). [ 23 ] [ 20 ] For example, 40% alc/vol is 80 proof in the US and 70 proof in the UK. However, since 1980, alcohol proof in the UK has been replaced by alc/vol as a measure of alcohol content, avoiding confusion between the UK and US proof standards.
The unemployment rate edged up moderately to 4.2% from October's 4.1%. A new labor reading for December is due on January 10, 2025 — the first major economic report in the new year.
