For percent increase or decrease, subtract the 2 numbers. Then write it as a ratio of the difference of the 2 numbers to the ORIGINAL number.
3,723,000,000
——————-
2,556,000,000
You notice that the numerator is larger than the denominator that’s because the increase was greater than 100%. You can make the numbers smaller by canceling out the zeros and then divide to get the percent.

lets see…… subtract 2,556 from 6,279, and lets say the answer is D. then the equation would be: D/2556=X/100 . then you use cross products!!!! =D (um, if thats confusing, ask an adult!!!! hehe)
