Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percent change, we need to use the following formula:

percent change = (|new value - old value| / old value) x 100%

Plugging in the numbers, we get:

percent change = (|65 - 50| / 50) x 100%
percent change = (15 / 50) x 100%
percent change = 0.3 x 100%
percent change = 30%

Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, 30%.
