Comment on the alternate answer
One needs to be very careful when talking about differences and changes in percentages. 20.3 is about 35.4% more than 15.0, using 15.0 as the reference value. This percentage change is computed as (20.3/15.0 -1)×100%.
However 20.3% of 9.85 is 5.3% (of 9.85) more than 15.0% (of 9.85). This difference is found by subtracting, not by computing the percentage change.
