\n" ); document.write( "the difference between $154. and $123. is $31.00. (P = $31.)?
\n" ); document.write( "the original amount was $123. before the increase. (B = $123.)?
\n" ); document.write( "what is the rate of change? (R =31/123 = 0.2520 = 25.2%)
\n" ); document.write( "That is the percent change.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "The rate you are asked to calculate may be something line 1:1.2520
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "I would suggest you find a worked example in your text to see
