Percent of Change

Today We Discussed:

We continued the topic of percents in the context of percent of change.  We can have a positive percent of change (representing an increase) or a negative rate of change (representing a decrease).  To determine the percent of change, we have to compare how much something changed to its original quantity.  Percent of change is relative to the original value.
