Price Elasticty

Okay so the formula for price elasticity of demand, is:

% CHANGE IN QUANTITY DEMANDED/ % CHANGE IN PRICE

So am I correct to say, if the question asks to calculate PED ^ and I don't know the % changes, to use this formula:

(QUANTITY NEW - QUANTITY OLD) / OLD TIMED BY 100

APPLOGIES IF THIS IS CONFUSING, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL RE WORD MYSELF
