Talk:Percentage change

Merger discussion
Discussion of merge of Percentage change, Relative difference, Percent difference as proposed by User:Michael Hardy.

A merger seems a good idea. The main question is which of these names should be used as a title, or should it be something new and not biased towards any one of these. Melcombe (talk) 09:59, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep in mind that "percent" is a subset of a ratio. E.g., to get "percent", you multiply your "relative" answer by 100 and tack a "%" to the end. Why 100? Because everyone else is doing it. + m t  16:53, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * IMHO, When someone says, "percent difference", it sounds like they are uneducated. Years ago, you hardly heard this term at -- it was always "percentage difference".  I think these two should be combined under "Percentage difference".Leon7 (talk) 14:14, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
