Answer 2

The percent of change is 23% ( approx )

Explanation:

Given,

The original value = 9.8,

New value = 12.1

Thus,

`\text{The percentage change}=\frac{\text{New value-original value}}{\text{Original value}}* 100`

`=(12.1-9.8)/(9.8)* 100`

`=(230)/(9.8)`

`=23.4693877551\%`

`\approx 23\%`
