Identify values: Step $1$ : Identify the initial and final values. $\newline$ Initial value: $5$ $\newline$ Final value: $8$ $\newline$ Calculate the difference between the final and initial values. $\newline$ Difference = $8 - 5 = 3$
Calculate percent: Step $2$ : Calculate the percent of change. $\newline$ Amount of change: $3$ $\newline$ Original amount: $5$ $\newline$ Percent of change = $(\text{Amount of change} / \text{Original amount}) \times 100\%$ $\newline$ Percent of change = $(3 / 5) \times 100\%$ $\newline$ = $0.6 \times 100\%$ $\newline$ = $60\%$
