percent change = 15.1%
A positive percent change is a percent increase.
Answer: The percent increase is 15.1%.
2.
percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = -8.3%
A negative percent change is a percent decrease.
Answer: The percent decrease is 8.3%.
3.

Answer: The percent decrease is 12%.
4.
