    Amount that was lost in the year 1981 due to fires = $1.1 million

    Amount that was lost in the year 1988 due to fires = $9.6 million

    Then

    Change in the amount of loss between the two years = 9.6 - 1.1

    = 8.5 million

    Percentage change in the amount

    of loss between the two years = (8.5/1.1) * 100

    = 772.73 percent.

    I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
