To match the prices with the correct percent of increase or decrease, we can calculate the percentage change for each pair.

1. **Original price: $12.25, New price: $13.23**
- Increase: \( \frac{(13.23 - 12.25)}{12.25} \times 100 \)
- Increase: \( \frac{0.98}{12.25} \approx 0.0800 \times 100 \approx 8.0\% \)
- **Match: 8% increase**

2. **Original price: $98.00, New price: $108.78**
- Increase: \( \frac{(108.78 - 98.00)}{98.00} \times 100 \)
- Increase: \( \frac{10.78}{98.00} \approx 0.1091 \times 100 \approx 10.9\% \)
- **Match: 11% increase**

3. **Original price: $63.00, New price: $56.07**
- Decrease: \( \frac{(63.00 - 56.07)}{63.00} \times 100 \)
- Decrease: \( \frac{6.93}{63.00} \approx 0.1095 \times 100 \approx 10.95\% \)
- **Match: 11% decrease**

4. **Original price: $37.50, New price: $34.50**
- Decrease: \( \frac{(37.50 - 34.50)}{37.50} \times 100 \)
- Decrease: \( \frac{3.00}{37.50} = 0.08 \times 100 = 8.0 \% \)
- **Match: 8% decrease**

Now, associating the pairs we have:

1. **$12.25 to $13.23**: **8% increase**
2. **$98.00 to $108.78**: **11% increase**
3. **$63.00 to $56.07**: **11% decrease**
4. **$37.50 to $34.50**: **8% decrease**

So, the pairs to fill in are:

- **$12.25 to $13.23**: **8% increase**
- **$98.00 to $108.78**: **11% increase**
- **$63.00 to $56.07**: **11% decrease**
- **$37.50 to $34.50**: **8% decrease**

Since there are not enough data points for the percentage changes of 12.4% decrease, 8.7% decrease, 7.4% increase, and 9.9% increase, they are not used in this specific pairing.
