Students compute the percent of decrease, percent of increase, and percent difference by comparing an original amount to a new amount. An answer key provides solutions for each item, reinforcing correct calculation and interpretation of percentage change in everyday contexts.","Examining Percent Increase and Decrease  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>1) Haley bought a computer for $202.16.
