Answer 2

The percentage of change is an increase of 12% from the original

Explanation:

The percentage of change is a percentage of increase because the new value is greater than the original.

To find the percentage of change, we can divide the new value by the old which will give us the amount it increased by in decimal form, which we can simply multiply by 100 to find percentage:

84/75=1.12

1.12x100 = 112

The new value is 112% of the original, this means that the percentage of change is an increase of 12% from the original.
