To find the percent of increase or decrease given the original value and the new value, you can use the following formula:
[ \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100% ]
Substitute the given values:
[ \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{56 - 50}{50} \right) \times 100% ]
[ \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{6}{50} \right) \times 100% ]
[ \text{Percent Change} = 0.12 \times 100% ]
[ \text{Percent Change} = 12% ]
Therefore, there is a 12% increase from the original value of 50 to the new value of 56.
