$27.2 %$ $27.2%$

Explanation:

Percent change is given by

$% change = \frac{New value - Old value}{Old value} \times 100$ $"% change" = "New value – Old value"/"Old value" × 100$

$% change = \frac{60, 020 - 47, 184}{47, 184} \times 100 = 27.2$ $"% change" = (60,020 - 47,184)/(47,184) × 100 = 27.2$
