Answer 1

100%

Explanation:

Really, it should be 150% or 50%. BUT, in my case it is 100% as it is double the original amount. Try doing 100%

Answer 2

-14.3% is a decrease

Explanation:

To find the percent increase/decrease:

1. Subtract the original value from the new value.

2. Divide by the original value.

3. Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert to a percent.

12 - 14 = -2

-2/14 = -0.1428

-0.1428*100 = -14.28% rounds to -14.3%
