    Change: final - initial

    = 40 - 30 = 10

    33.3%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's say the percent change is x%. Then the equation is:

    30 + x% * 30 = 40

    Subtract 30 from both sides:

    x% * 30 = 10

    Divide by 30:

    x% = 10/30 = 1/3

    Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so:

    x/100 = 1/3

    Multiply both sides by 100:

    x = (1/3) * 100 = 33.3%
