Carl · Answer 1

This is a 12.9% change - increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent change, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old) / (Old) * 100 = Percent Change

(525 - 465) / (465) * 100 = Percent Change

60/465 * 100 = Percent Change

.129 * 100 = Percent Change

12.9% = Percent Change
