To determine the percent change in price, solve for the differences between the original prices and the sale prices. Then, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100%.

Guitar 1: (($160 - $100) / $160) x 100% = 37.5%
Guitar 2: (($250 - $150) / $250) x 100% = 40%

Thus, guitar 2 has a greater percent change in price.
