Answer 1

The percent of change is 44.7%

38 staples to 55 staples

As the number of staples are increased, therefore, the percent will also increase.

Difference = 55 - 38 = 17 staples

Percent of change =
`(Difference)/(Original\ number)*100`

Percent of change =
`(17)/(38)*100`

Percent of change = 0.447*100

Percent of change = 44.7%

Hence,

The percent of change is 44.7%
