    The percent change formula is amount of change divided by original number

    so 7/8-3/8 = the amount of change or 4/8

    4/8 divided by the original number (3/8)

    to divide fractions you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second number

    7/8*8/3 = 7/1 * 1/3 = 7/3

    do 7/3 in a calculator = 2.33 repeating

    move the decimal two places to the right

    and the percent change is a 233% increase
