Answer:
Percent\text{ change =31}\operatorname{\%}\operatorname{\lparen}\text{nearest percent}\operatorname{\rparen}

Step-by-step explanation:

initial value = 45

final value = 59

To get the percent change, we will apply the formula:


percent\text{ change = }\frac{final\text{ value -initial value }}{initial\text{ value}}*\text{ 100}
percent\text{ change = }(59-45)/(45)\text{ }*\text{ 100}
\begin{gathered} percent\text{ change = }(14)/(45)*\text{ 100} \\ percent\text{ change = 0.3111}*100 \\ Percent\text{ change = 31.11\% } \\ \\ Percent\text{ change = 31\% \lparen nearest percent\rparen} \end{gathered}
