How it's calculated
Each mode uses a direct formula. "What is X% of Y" computes (X / 100) × Y. "X is what % of Y" computes (X / Y) × 100, requiring Y ≠ 0. "X is P% of what" solves for the base as X / (P / 100), requiring P ≠ 0. Percentage change is ((new − old) / |old|) × 100, signed, requiring the old value ≠ 0. Percentage difference is |A − B| / ((|A| + |B|) / 2) × 100, order-independent, requiring the two values not both be zero. "Add / subtract a percent" gives base × (1 + p / 100) and base × (1 − p / 100). All formulas follow standard mathematical definitions as documented on MathIsFun.
