The percent change from 50 to 52 is NOT equivalent to the percent change from ?
% change from 50 to 52 = (52-50)/50 * 100 = 4% increase
A. 500 to 520 => 20/500 * 100 = 4%
B. 200 to 208 => 8/200* 100 = 4
C. 100 to 104 => 4/100* 100 = 4
D. 25 to 26 => 1/25* 100 = 4
E. 10 to 12 => 2/10 * 100 = 20
Answer: E
% change from 50 to 52 = (52-50)/50 * 100 = 4% increase
A. 500 to 520 => 20/500 * 100 = 4%
B. 200 to 208 => 8/200* 100 = 4
C. 100 to 104 => 4/100* 100 = 4
D. 25 to 26 => 1/25* 100 = 4
E. 10 to 12 => 2/10 * 100 = 20

30-second way, no long division, no calculating percent change: Use a multiplier or compare fractions. These answers' numbers are easy.
This question is about equivalent ratios, too. For percent change to be equivalent, the ratio of (A:B) in the answers must be identical to ratio of 50:52.
Choose the easiest: multipliers, divisors, or fraction comparison (\(\frac{50}{52}\) compared to \(\frac{A}{B}\))
A) 500 to 520:
50 * 10 = 500
52 * 10 = 520
Same multiplier. Ratio holds. Equivalent percent change. EQUIVALENT
B. 200 to 208:
50 * 4 = 200. 52 * 4? 208. EQUIVALENT
C. 100 to 104
50 * 2 = 100. 52 * 2? 104. EQUIVALENT
D. 25 to 26
\(\frac{50}{2}\) = 25. \(\frac{52}{2}\)? 26. EQUIVALENT
E. 10 to 12:
By POE this is the answer.
10 * 5 = 50. 12 * 5?
12 * 5 = 60, and \(60\neq{52}\).
Ratios are not equivalent. Hence percent change is NOT EQUIVALENT.*
ANSWER E
*If in doubt, do the math for just this answer.
Percent change from 50 to 52?
\(\frac{52-50}{50} = \frac{2}{50}\) = .04 * 100 = 4%
Percent change from 10 to 12?
\(\frac{2}{10}\) = .20 * 100 = 20%
