Answer:
Option (B).
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage change between two numbers a and b can be calculated by the formula,
% change =
Where, (b - a) = Change in values
a = Initial value
If a = 16 and b = 20
Percentage change between 16 and 20 will be,
=
=
= 25%
If a = 20 and b = 16,
Percentage change =
= 20%
Therefore, %change between 16 and 24 may be 16% or 20%.
Option (A),
= 25%
Option (B),
= 1.25 - 1 × 100
= 1.25 - 100
= -98.75%
Option (C),
= 25%
Option (D),
= 20%
Therefore, we can not use the calculation used in Option (B).
