Because she is so good with animals, Amber fosters sick puppies. She took care of 8 puppies last year. So far this year she has fostered 5 puppies. What is the percent of change?

Answer 1

To calculate the percent of change, we first need to find the difference between the number of puppies fostered last year and this year.

Last year Amber fostered 8 puppies and this year she has fostered 5 puppies.

8 - 5 = 3

Now, we need to find the percent change by dividing the difference by the original number of puppies fostered last year and then multiplying by 100.

Percent Change = (3 / 8) * 100 = 0.375 * 100 = 37.5%

Therefore, the percent change is 37.5%.
