  • P2 is the final price ($) 

How to Calculate Change In Price?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Change In Price.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the initial price ($). 
    1. The initial price ($) is given as: 600.
  2. Next, determine the final price ($). 
    1. The final price ($) is provided as: 300.
  3. Finally, calculate the Change In Price using the equation above: 

ΔP = P1 – P2

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

ΔP = 600 – 300 = 300.00 ($)
