Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Percentage change =  $\dfrac{Change}{Previous\ value}\times100$

a) 3 months to 5 months

Change = 5 - 3  ( increase )

Percentage change = $\dfrac{2}{3}\times100\%=66.67\%$ , it is an increase .

b) 5 to 10

Change = 10-5 = 5  ( increase)

Percentage change = $\dfrac{5}{5}\times100\%= 100\%$, it is an increase .

c) $0.32 to $.37

Change = 0.37-0.32 = 0.05 ( increase)

Percentage change = $\dfrac{0.05}{0.37}\times100\%=13.51\%$, it is an increase .
