fin_percent {umx}

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

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

digits

Rounding of results (default 2 places)
