The change in price represents the difference between the initial price and the final price of an item. This calculation helps in understanding how much the price has increased or decreased over a period of time.
The formula to calculate the change in price is:
\[ \Delta P = P1 - P2 \]
Where:
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \Delta P = 100 - 80 = 20 \text{ dollars} \]
The change in price is 20 dollars.
