      If you want to know what percentage A is of B, compute
      A/B*100%

      Example: What percentage is 5 of 8?
        5/8*100% = (500/8)% = 62.5%
      _____
      If you want to know what the percentage change from A to B is, that is computed
      (B-A)/A*100%

      Example: What is the percentage change from 5 to 8?
        (8-5)/5*100% = 3/5*100% = (300/5)% = 60%
