percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100

percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70* 100
                           =   15/70   * 100
                           = 0.2142 * 100

                            = (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5* 100
                            = 2.3 / 23.5* 100
