Answer 1

119%

Explanation:

First, you set up an equation following the rule; the amount of change/original number: that would be 35-16/16 which is 19/6. The decimal answer for that after you divide is 1.1875 which you can round up to 1.19. Then, move the decimal over 2 places to make it a percent and you get 119%
