How to Find Percent Change | Word Problem | Minute Math

In this video we cover how to find percent change. To find percent change you need to follow the following steps...

1. Find the amount of change. change = new amount−original amount
2. Find what percent the amount of change is of the original amount. change is what percent of the original amount?

We use these steps to solve the following problem...
