Can't think right now....

Hi there,

I'm probably gonna beat myself up after I get the answer, because I know it's simple, but if someone can please let me know what's the exact formula for:

Let's say I made $1000 yesterday and made $1100 today. I know I"m up 10% from the day before. What's the formula to determine how much % I made either + or - the minus part is what I'm having trouble with. Example, yesterday I made $1000 and today I made $900, I"m down 10%, but how can I have a -10% or even plus for that matter.

Sorry for the stupid question, but it would really help me right now.
