Percent change is $23.53 %$ $23.53%$

Explanation:

When a change is from $x_{1}$ $x_1$ to $x_{2}$ $x_2$ (this means $x_{1}$ $x_1$ is observation of an earlier time / period, than of $x_{2}$ $x_2$ ) and the quantum of change is measured as $x_{2} - x_{1}$ $x_2-x_1$ .

For percentage change we have to calculate $\frac{x_{2} - x_{1}}{x_{1}} \times 100$ $(x_2-x_1)/x_1xx100$

which means quantum of change divided by observation of an earlier time / period and then multiplied by $100$ $100$ .

Hence, percent change of $51, 000$ $51,000$ to $63, 000$ $63,000$ is given by $\frac{63000 - 51000}{51000} \times 100 = \frac{12000}{51000} \times 100$ $(63000-51000)/51000xx100=12000/51000xx100$

= $12/51xx100=(4cancel12)/(17cancel51)xx100=400/17=23.53%$
