Explanation / Answer
3a. The formula for % change is = (New value - initial value)/Initial value*100.
Given % change = 12% and initial value = 100, new value would be,
12 = (new value - 100)/100*100
12 = new value - 100
12 + 100 = new value
New value = 112.
Similarly, initial value = 50, % change = 8%.
8 = (new value - 50)/50*100.
8 = (new value - 50)*2.
4 = new value - 50.
new value = 54.
