To find the percentage of change, we need to calculate the difference between the two prices and divide it by the original price, then multiply by 100.
Change in price = Current price - Original price = $3.57 - $1.51 = $2.06
Percentage of change = (Change in price / Original price) * 100 = ($2.06 / $1.51) * 100 = 136.42%
Therefore, the percentage of change is 136.42%.
