Find the price of the skateboard this year.

Find the price of the skateboard last year.

Take the price of the skateboard this year and subtract the price of the skateboard from last year.

After doing the above step, divide through by the price of the skateboard last year.

Then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

Tip: The general formula is ((new value - old value) / old value) * 100.
