What is the evolution rate? What is it used for?

In mathematics, an evolution rate is the evolution of a numerical quantity. It is the rate of change between two numbers or two digits. It is expressed as a percentage.

The rate of change is often used to compare trends. As it is expressed between 1 and 100, it is easier to compare rates than values, especially if the final, initial or both values are not the same.

What is the evolution rate formula?

An evolution rate is a percentage representing the evolution between 2 values.

Here’s the formula for calculating an evolution rate:

(Final Value – Initial Value) / Initial Value X 100

for example, the rate of change from 100 to 150 is

((150 – 100) / 100) x 100 = 50 / 100 x 100 = 0.5 x 100
