Drills
Dividing the change by the original amount, never the new one, as a percentage.
Author note — to cover
Cover percentage change as change divided by original times 100, rises and falls, calculator and simple non-calculator cases, changes beyond 100%, and the dividing-by-the-new-value error. Expressing one quantity as a percentage of another in general is Number's FDP work; profit wording and fair comparisons are the sibling pages. Both tiers. (R9)
