fin_percentR Documentation

Compute the percent change needed to return to the original value after percent off (or on).

Description

Determine the percent change needed to "undo" an initial percent change. Has a plot function as well. If an amount of $100 has 20% added, what percent do we need to drop it by to return to the original value?

fin_percent(20) yields $100 increased by 20% = $120 (Percent to reverse = -17%)

Usage

  percent,
  value = 100,
  symbol = "$",
  digits = 2,
  plot = TRUE,
  logY = TRUE
)
