To find the percent change, we need to compare the new total to the original total and calculate the difference as a percentage of the original.
Original total: 59 workers
New total: 66 workers
Difference: 66 - 59 = 7
Percent change: (7/59) x 100% = 11.9%
Since the new total (66 workers) is greater than the original total (59 workers), there is an increase of 11.9%.
Find the Percent change. Indicate whether it is an increase or a decrease. Round to the nearest percent. SOLVE AND SHOW WORK
