Any tips on how to always know that that they are asking for either absolute percent or percent increase/decrease? Sometimes the fact that the percent increase or New-Old / Old is being asked for is not that clear.

Thanks

It should be clear from the stem. Can you please post questions which are confusing in that regard? Thank you.

Meanwhile you can check the following:

Hope this helps.
