72-42=30

percent of change = amount of change/original amount

percent of change=30/42

Percent of change = 0.71428

Percent of change=71.4%

Peppermint · Answer 2

First, we subtract the two numbers.

72 - 42 = 30

Now we divide this to the original number.

30 / 42 = 0.71428571428

Multiply by 100:

71.428571428

So the percent increase is approximately 71.43%
