The percentage change $=color(green)(66.67%$

The initial value $= 63$

The final value $= 105$

The change $= color(blue)(42$

The percentage change $=$ (change in value) / (initial value) $xx 100$

$=color(blue)(42) / 63 xx 100$

$=color(green)(66.67%$ (rounded off to nearest hundredth)

Percentage change is $66 2/3%$

The change from $63$ to $105$ is given by $105-63=42$ (i.e. the latter figure minus earlier figure).

For percentage change, we should divide the change by earlier figure and then multiply by $100$ .

Hence percentage change is $42/63xx100$ (dviding by $21$ )

= $(2cancel42)/(3cancel63)xx100$

= $200/3=66 2/3%$
