    Subtract the sale price from the original price then divide the difference by the original price.

    Guitar 1: 160 - 100 = 60

    60/160 = 0.375 x 100 = 37.5%

    Guitar 2: 250 - 150 = 100

    100/250 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%

    The answer is the second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 40%
