Answer:

The total change is £21.02 from the original amount of £78.98. Therefore, the percentage change is directly related to the original amount.

Divide the total change by the original amount to determine the percentage change the new amount represents.

21.02÷78.98=0.15219 which rounds up to two decimal places as 15.22%.
