Here is the problem: Percentage change from 40 to 50.

2
00:00:04.061 --> 00:00:07.881
Measure how much a value changed relative to its original value.

3
00:00:08.681 --> 00:00:11.572
Subtract the original value from the new value.

4
00:00:12.022 --> 00:00:15.354
Divide the change by the absolute value of the original.

5
00:00:15.804 --> 00:00:17.406
Multiply by 100.

6
00:00:18.206 --> 00:00:21.445
So the answer is 25 percent (increase).
