Because she is so good with animals, Amber fosters sick puppies. She took care of 8 puppies last year. So far this year she has fostered 5 puppies. What is the percent of change?
To calculate the percent of change, we first need to find the difference between the number of puppies fostered last year and this year.
Last year Amber fostered 8 puppies and this year she has fostered 5 puppies.
8 - 5 = 3
Now, we need to find the percent change by dividing the difference by the original number of puppies fostered last year and then multiplying by 100.
Percent Change = (3 / 8) * 100 = 0.375 * 100 = 37.5%
Therefore, the percent change is 37.5%.
