Understanding Your Result
Percentages are relative values — context determines what is "good" or "bad." A 50% discount is significant; a 50% failure rate is alarming. Percentage change and percentage points are different: moving from 4% to 5% is a 1 percentage point increase, but a 25% relative increase. When comparing percentages across different base values, always check whether absolute differences are meaningful — a 10% improvement on a large base creates more absolute value than 10% on a small base.
