Default Calculate Target

Not sure I'm doing this right and need confirmation, please. Looking to find
a target to reduce a metric by a % for 2009 using 2007 and 2008 data.
Example:
Production tonnage 2007=400,000, and production tonnage 2008=425,000;
water tonnage consumed during production for 2007=200,000 tons, and
2008=210,000.
Then percent of production tonnage vs tons of water used for 2007 was .5 and
for 2008 was .494.
SO is it correct that the reduction of the percentage for prod vs water
consumption from 2007 vs 2008 is 1.176%.????

Thanks so much for confirming/correcting this for me!
