Ok so (first number-second number)divided by First number

16 - 12 = 4 violations more
4 is aprox 33% of 12

\[(12-16)\div12\]

If you look at the percent changes all of them are too big except 35%
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because a 54% increase would be even less than 140 which is more than 40 dollars less than what it actually costs on sale.
