Find the percent of change from $15 to $18. Is the change a percent of increase or a percent of decrease?

So you start out making $15 an hour. Now you are making $18 an hour. In order to figure it out, divide the increase ($3) by the original amount ($15), then multiply by 100.
So it is a 20 percent
Part 2: INCREASE
