Answer:

4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

If your rounding to the nearest tenth them its 4.3. Don't listen to any of the other answers. They keep giving wrong answers. I tried to put 4 in because thats what the people on brainly said but it said I was wrong. I clicked show answer and it said 4.3. So everyone reading this...... its 4.3!!

New amount - original amount = amount of change

amount of change/original amount × 100 = percent of change

36 - 34.5 = 1.5

<span>1.5/34.5 × 100 = 4%</span>
