    Percent
AI Thread Summary
To determine the percentage increase between two values, subtract the smaller percentage from the larger one. In this case, 91% minus 63% equals a difference of 28%. This means that individuals who feel part of a community are 28% more likely to be satisfied with their overall experience compared to those who do not. The calculation is straightforward and can be applied to similar comparisons. Understanding this method can enhance clarity in reporting satisfaction metrics.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm writing a work report and trying to figure out what % increase there is between one percent and another.

The example I have is; 91% of those those who feel part of a community are satisfied with their overall experience, compared to 63% those who don't feel part of a community are satisfied with their experience.

I'd really like to be able to say those who feel part of a community are x% more likely to be satisfied with their experience, but I'm not sure how to work it out.

Any help and explanation would be great, thank you!

Hi olive99 and welcome to MHB! :D

It's simple subtraction: 91 - 63 = 28, so those who feel part of a community are 28% more likely to be satisfied with their experience.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
