Calculating percent change, especially calculating it as part of a word problem, is a crucial skill! Percent change (also known as "relative change" or "percent increase/decrease") is useful in every branch of science from Astronomy to Zoology. It's also useful for de-bunking clickbait, as we'll see in this video!
